McCain: Zero-tolerance border policy is contrary to principles, values USA was founded on
KVOA ^ | June 18, 2018 | Staff

Posted on 06/18/2018 11:37:11 PM PDT by Trump20162020

PHOENIX - Arizona Sen. John McCain weighed in Monday on the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy for undocumented immigrants crossing the border.

The Republican senator tweeted Monday afternoon, saying the administration should put an end to the policy.

"The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded," McCain tweeted. "The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now."

I think his staffers are doing his communications. He is probably already brain dead and on extreme life support until November.

I’d be willing to bet that McCain, back when he wasn’t semi-comatose and under hospice care, actually voted for the Bush era law the current policy is based upon. Any takers?

I'll take that bet, and you lose. It wasn't a Bush era law, it was a Clinton era law circa 1996.

How does Mexico treat illegal aliens and why is America supposed to surpass that?

Rich liberals and their Fredocon cemetery collaborators should volunteer to take in illegal kids and care for them out of their own pockets.

But they won’t do because fake outrage costs them nothing as long as someone else foots the bill.

If Trump’s critics want to change the rules, they should bear the costs.

Seems only fair.

Why didn't McCain speak out about this when Obama was president?

He’ll be RINO bloviating from the grave. Just leave him a terminal in his coffin.

McCain’s hatred of the Donald knows know bounds and you know where that will get him, eh?

Sen. John McCain on illegal child immigrants: Fly them home, now

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Monday, July 14, 2014

Sen. John McCain took a strong stance on the scores of illegal immigrants who’ve been streaming across the U.S. southern border in recent weeks, telling a CNN audience that authorities should fly them home as quickly as they can.

“There has to be a halt to this,” he said during a talk with CNN “State of the Union” host Candy Crowley on Sunday. “The best way to do that is for planeloads of these young people to be returned to their country of origin.”

Mr. McCain said the situation facing the minor-aged border crossers was “tragic,” but added that “we cannot have an unending flow of children from all over the world, much less Central America, coming into our country,” Newsmax reported.

Hey McCain!

[Groucho]
I don’t know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I’m against it.

Your proposition may be good,
But let’s have one thing understood,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,
I’m against it.

I’m opposed to it,
On general principle, I’m opposed to it.

[chorus] He’s opposed to it.
In fact, indeed, that he’s opposed to it!

[Groucho]
For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night to morn,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
And I’ve kept yelling since I first commenced it,
I’m against it!

This is a temporary problem. We have to deal with this surge as people try to game our system by exploiting vulnerable children.

We should be taking Katrina Trailers and setting them up in secure camps, and keeping the real families intact until the parents have had their hearing and are deported.

Unaccompanied children, or children not with a custodial parent, will still need to be cared for separately. Caring for these vulnerable children is a sacred duty and must be done with great care. Every effort must be made to reunite them with their families in their home countries

I refuse to believe this is him. He is either comatose or too mentally impair. I think this is the wife getting free campaign coverage for her Senate seat.
