Report: McCain Wants Congress to Pass ‘Gang of Eight’ Amnesty Bill When He Returns
Breitbart ^ | 3 Aug 2017 | Tony Lee

Posted on 08/04/2017 8:46:02 AM PDT by Cheerio

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) wants Congress to pass the Gang of Eight’s comprehensive amnesty bill when he returns to the Senate after getting treatments for brain cancer.

According to The Arizona Republic, McCain, before leaving Washington to get cancer treatments in Arizona, reportedly spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about joining forces again to pass the “Gang of Eight” bill. After joining Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to defeat the GOP’s “skinny repeal” of Obamacare, McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent, was lionized by Democrats and the legacy media, with CNN paying homage to his “maverick moment.”

The USA is getting pretty packed.

We have half the population of China at the time I was born.

While the USA may look big, the areas that generate lots of new jobs are in metropolitan areas like Seattle, New York, Boston, San Francisco and DC.

These areas have become severely overpriced, locking Americans legally here from fully capitalizing on their education.

Our roads have become overcrowded and very dangerous. Road rage incidents are common.

There is also the political problem. Many illegals come from left-leaning countries. They don’t seem to realize that leftist ideas are the main cause of failure in their homelands. These illegals would continue to vote for politicians that promise “free” stuff.

A tipping of the domestic political balance by illegality might even cause a civil war or other acts of violence.

The true solution to world poverty is a world whose countries are all run on sound economic principles and that allow their citizens to be as free as possible.

An illegal can weed-whack just as well in his homeland.

An illegal can lay even more bricks in a year in his homeland than in New York City.

An illegal can vacuum as many square feet south of the border as north of the border.

McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five

Wednesday, November 29, 1989

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/mccain-the-most-reprehensible-of-the-keating-five-6431838

Must Reading...not later, not maybe - NOW. It's 10 minutes max, but FULL of McCain's proclamations of innocence and backstabbing. He really is a duplicitous s-bag. Sick or not.

Kennedy’s immigration reform passed in 1964,that’s why we’re in the mess we are in now.
Google that and read the transcripts of the debates in the Senate when that happened,the republicans predicted exactly what was going to happen and the democrats did What?
You guessed it,they were called racists and bigots,so what has changed,nothing.
Funny thing is,it’s not a republican democrat thing,it’s the establishment filling their pockets and the American people and the country be dampened.
All congress and the White House have done is practice what the country has become the best at PROPAGANDA

I’m a veteran, and I’ve lost all respect and regard for McCain. Everything I’ve read about glioblastoma indicates he’s unlikely ever to be well enough to return to the Senate, and that suits me fine.

We need to troll McCain's twitter account.

"Just keep telling everyone that it was your wife's money invested in that shopping center with Keating and that you knew nothing about it."

TED KENNEDY WILL ‘SMILE DOWN’ WHEN IMMIGRATION BILL PASSES

Reid's statement, like so much of what he has ever said, is wrong in its entirety:

-- Ted Kennedy will not care for any immigration bill the GOP passes no matter how liberal it is;

-- As he stands in judgment by our "just God", Ted Kennedy is likely not smiling; and

-- Though I don't pretend to know how God reckons, it is also likely that Ted Kennedy is looking up.

He’s going to play the sympathy card with his illness. You know, “Do it for John.”

He should contact a make-a-wish foundation at this point.

I hope you are right about McCain not coming back. As a Christian, I do not wish pain and suffering on him (been arguing with freepers who think I should), but I do hope he never ever returns to the senate. Never.Never.Never.Never.Never.
