McCain was a pioneer, along with his democratic colleague, Edward Kennedy, in promoting a migratory reform to legalize the undocumented. During his current campaign, the senator of Arizona has said that he will "secure the border first".

A campaign collaborator of McCain and human rights leader, ElĂ*as Maldonado, said that the senator "gave me his word that once he obtains the presidency he will promote immigration reform".

McCain recognized likewise that Latin Americans "are often the first in losing their jobs whe people come illegally to the country".

According to Maldonado, the contender would prompt an immigration reform that would translate in a temporary worker program, the guest workers plan, that proposed president George Bush.
