Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today on President Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program:
“President Trump’s decision to eliminate DACA is the wrong approach to immigration policy at a time when both sides of the aisle need to come together to reform our broken immigration system and secure the border.
“I strongly believe that children who were illegally brought into this country through no fault of their own should not be forced to return to a country they do not know. The 800,000 innocent young people granted deferred action under DACA over the last several years are pursuing degrees, starting careers, and contributing to our communities in important ways. While I disagreed with President Obama’s unilateral action on this issue, I believe that rescinding DACA at this time is an unacceptable reversal of the promises and opportunities that have been conferred to these individuals.
“The federal government has a responsibility to defend and secure our borders, but we must do so in a way that upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation. I will be working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to devise and pass comprehensive immigration reform, which will include the DREAM Act.”

McCain=Treason.
And when was the last time you voted for the wall?
Why is a statement by that despicable POS worthy of being posted here? Just curious!
I strongly believe that any Citizen that comes in to large amounts of property and cash Stolen by their parents through no fault of their own, deserve to keep it.
“I strongly believe that children who were illegally brought into this country through no fault of their own should not be forced to return to a country they do not know.
Is there any difference????
Shouldn’t he be planning his own funeral?
So, will McLame allow illegal’s to enter his home at night and set up housekeeping? Demand food? Clothing? Free education for his kids? Allow dad to mow the lawn?

Trump got everyone’s panties in bunch by putting this on congress where they can’t shit without talking to a lobbiest
Still rooting for the tumor here.
McCain could write fake news for CNN.
Since Obama ended up winning in 2008 anyway I wish I could take back my one and only vote for this insufferable man.
So how did President Trump’s kicking it back to Congress prevent anything in this ghost written press release? Did his staffer even read President Trump’s statement?
McCain won’t be happy till we bring the southern border down.
Trump just reversed Obama's unilateral action so McCain has no rationale for getting rid of Obama's EO and putting it back the way it was.
PING
Yawn.
So, will amnesty be the only meaningful legislation Trump signs during his only term in office? Democrats will not let anything come to a vote short of complete amnesty. And judging by the way Trump championed that horrible Obamacare repeal, will he declare whatever amnesty bill Congress sends him the greatest as well? I think Trump masterfully boxed Congress in, but I worry about what he will support.
Someone correct me, but it looks like this was not a statement in front of a microphone or TV camera, but a written statement, which could have been written by anyone.
If a media hog like McCain can’t do a live statement, that says something.
The day he realizes his days in front of a TV camera are gone is going to be a sad day for him. I mean what else is there to life?
Pissing away his few remaining days on a political spat. What a senile old fool.
