With the Senate on recess this week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) fielded questions about immigration reform at a townhall in Sun Lakes, Az. on Tuesday. Brahm Resnik, a local Arizona television journalist, and Dan Nowicki, national politics reporter for The Arizona Republic, were in attendance and recorded some of the event:
