McCain's New Approach

(Fox News) - John McCain has a new approach to the controversial immigration reform bill that cost him the support of many conservative Republicans.

The Arizona senator is now supporting a plan that cracks down on illegal immigration — but leaves out the guest worker program and path to citizenship that some critics called amnesty. McCain says the Senate "can still show the American people that we are serious about securing our nation's border."

But he's not abandoning the more controversial parts of the bill — saying the new plan would "provide an essential step towards achieving comprehensive reform in the future."
