Republican presidential candidate John McCain is challenging critics of a proposed immigration overhaul plan to provide a better alternative.

The Arizona senator criticized his leading rivals, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, when a reporter asked him about their opposition to a Senate compromise brokered earlier this month.

McCain says anyone who doesn't like the plan should offer their own idea.

The plan before Congress includes tougher security, guest workers and a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

McCain says the U.S. can't afford to continue to allow an estimated 12 million people to live in the country illegally.
