Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl are calling on State Department official Michael Posner to formally apologize for expressing regret about Arizona's immigration law to a Chinese delegation last week during a discussion on human rights.
"Comparing the Arizona law to what takes place in China is an absolute outrage," McCain told Fox News. The two Republican senators wrote a letter to Posner Tuesday calling his remarks "particularly offensive" and demanding that he retract his statements. That was after Posner told reporters Friday that a U.S. delegation, meeting with Chinese representatives for two days in Washington, brought up the Arizona law "early and often" as an example of a trouble spot Americans need to work on.
