McCain faces a deep divide among Republicans, many conservatives see him as a liberal who has too often compromised with Democrats in order to move legislation through congress.

One of (the) McCain’s biggest problems with conservative Republican voters came 2 years ago, when he (calls founds in) co-sponsored an immigration reform bill that (he) they said (among it do an amlis) amounted to an amnesty fee for 12 million foreigners who had entered the United States illegally.

McCain says he now believes the border must be made secure before any other program can be implemented, but he still backs a guest worker program and (pass the) a path to citizenship for immigrants already here who do not have a criminal record.

Former President Bush addresses (the) conservatives in making his endorsement of McCain, saying that the senator‘s credentials as conservative are solid.

Senator McCain’s only remaining (an) opponent in the race for the republican nomination is former A governor M H, who is campaigning in the (middle) Midwestern state of W before its primary Tuesday. H told reporters there he intends to stay in the race despite the momentum (the) that Senator McCain has developed and the backing (here) he has received from party leaders.

TRANSLAITON:

    M面临着和其他共和党人之间巨大的分歧。许多保守人士将他看作是为了让国会通过法案而经常向民主党妥协的自由主义者。

M和保守共和党选民之间最大的问题之一是在2年前，当时他是一项移民改革法的联合提议人，该提案为1.2亿非法入美国的外国人提供赦免。

M说，他现在认为，必须要在其他任何纲要实施前，做好边境的安全措施。但是他仍然支持"客工计划"，并开辟了让已经在美国且无犯罪纪录的移民获得公民身份的途径。

前总统B对保守派人士发表讲话，宣布支持M，并表示M作为一个保守派人士的资格是稳固的。

参议员M在共和党提名竞争中唯一还在的对手就是前阿肯色州地方长官MH。在周二初选前，H正在中西部地区的威斯康星州开展竞选活动。H告诉记者虽然参议员M的声势很大，而且得到了党内领导人的支持，但他仍打算继续参加竞选。
