Sen. John McCain Supports Effort to Force Vote on Immigration Bill in House of Representatives

Sen. John McCain said Saturday that he supports an effort in the House of Representatives to force a vote on an immigration bill.

“I strongly support the bipartisan effort in the House to file a discharge petition to reopen the debate on immigration reform and bring up our #USAAct for a vote,” the Arizona Republican wrote in a tweet

A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Republican Reps. Will Hurd of Texas, Jeff Denham of California and and Carlos Curbelo of Florida, introduced the Uniting and Securing America Act in January. The bill would shield undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children who have been protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program from deportation.

McCain introduced a companion version of the bill in the Senate in February. The legislation also calls for additional security measures at the US-Mexico border.

"McCain introduced a companion version of the bill in the Senate in February."

This is an outright lie! McCain hasn't been in the Senate since December.

He certainly didn’t write this tweet either. Farce.

I wouldnt accept anything or any vote on anything from McCain unless he was witnessed as personally performing it

You don’t have to.

I am pretty sure that Senators must vote in person.

Otherwise, McCain would have made more trouble than he already has.

Well. I think McCain should give a press conference explaining his decision on this bill. Or possibly jump on his jet, fly to DC and go to work.

Say it on the Senate floor. I doubt that he who will not be named is even conscious.

“Dead man senatoring.”

Kind of like Senator Sheets Byrd being wheeled in on a gurney for the Christmas Eve Obama care vote.

McConnell said he would not bring the bill to the floor unless Trump says he would sign it. The Goodlatte bill is the only one worth signing.

McCain knows all of this. He is just trying to screw Trump one more time before stepping into his grave. Vile and vindictive to the very end.

Oh you look so senatorial in your blazer and button shirt. Probably has a pair of Haegers or Dockers on too. Schmuck.

“Johnny and the Jihadists” should be on every billboard in Arizona to remind people about the whole story of the legacy McCain will leave behind.
