Sanator McCain Flip-Flopping on Comprehensive Immigration Reform?

The Trail suggests that Senator John McCain is flip-flopping on legalization depending on his audience:  “An issue that has been largely missing from the English-language presidential debate recently — immigration reform — made a brief return here this morning when Republican John McCain addressed a largely Irish-American crowd. McCain said there were “50,000 Irish men and women in this country illegally who want to become citizens” and that “we have to give them a path to citizenship.” McCain was a leader of the failed effort in Congress last year to overhaul the nation’s immigration policies, and told the audience that it was an example of his willingness to take on controversial issues despite the political costs — a point McCain has been making of late in ads playing on Spanish-language radio stations in key states, but by and large eschewed before non-Hispanic audiences.”

Any thoughts loyal readers?
