COLUMNA de AZTLAN

I think McCain did pretty good speaking to The National Association of Latino Elected Officials. First, Sen. McCain was interrupted 3 times by protesters. A fourth person tried but it appeared as though he had no microphone and could barely be heard causing little distraction.

According to CNN, the protestors were from CodePink.org

Sen. McCain touched on trade (NAFTA), Education, the Iraq war, health care and the war on drugs and the need to help Mexico fight its war against the drug cartels.

But Sen McCain spoke mostly on immigration acknowledging the need for comprehensive immigration reform. McCain spoke briefly on immigrants fighting in Iraq and he also mentioned that while held as prisoner of war in Viet-Nam, McCain refused an early release because of a code that stated the first taken P.O.W. would be the first to be released. That first P.O.W. taken was Everett Alvarez Jr., the son of Mexican immigrants.

McCain stated that immigration reform should be human and would be on his "first 100 days" agenda.
