The Senate shot down Sen. John McCain’s latest immigration legalization proposal Thursday as lawmakers finally began their long-awaited floor fight over the fate of “Dreamers.”
Mr. McCain and Sen. Chris Coons, Delaware Democrat, had proposed an amnesty for perhaps 3 million illegal immigrants in exchange for a study of border security and a promise of action by 2021.
But the plan had been rejected by President Trump and garnered only 52 votes in support, which was well shy of the 60 senators had set as the needed threshold for action.
Votes were expected in quick succession on a plan to crack down on sanctuary cities, then on Senate Democratic leaders’ immigration plan — an amnesty for 1.8 million illegal immigrants, coupled with border wall funding. Finally, a vote was expected on Mr. Trump’s four-point framework combining an amnesty for 1.8 million with border wall funding, changes to chain migration and an end to the Diversity Visa Lottery.

McCain's amnesty dies in Senate and McCain is sent on extended vacation to his favorite Hanoi Hilton Hotel.
Is this the same John McCain that gave Hillary Clinton’s FAKE. Dossier to the FBI? That should continue to be the headline on McCain. How could I ever have voted for him? (I didn’t in the primary)
Seems like it.
That’s beautiful!
I’m sure others easily read it they way we did.
“:^)
Contact the WH and tell him or his team directly a big thank you for the veto threat.
We should let him know that we have his back.
I see whet you did there. Thanks.
Absolutely, when I first saw the article that was the first thing that came to mind.
....
and the #1 most DESPICABLE Republican politician in my lifetime is...
John McCain
Traitor McCain’s amnesty fails.
Listen to his propaganda broadcast

52 votes FOR this crap?? WHICH Pubbies voted for it?
Wish McCain would just go to the country of his loyalties, Mexico, and quietly die.
But instead the he has to try, to his very breath, to inflict more harm on the people he hates and wants to replace - Americans.
McCain is a disgrace.
Do something constructive and count Cindy’s money.
This is a compromise? "You have to give us everything we want and we'll maybe study what you want later and get back to you after the next Presidential election, which we'll win by hook or crook and when we do, we'll forget this was ever said. You racists." Remember two things about this: this is the minority party acting like Prom Queens, and there will be a majority of the media who will present this as "reaching across the aisle".
The usual:
Flake, Gardner, Graham, Murkowski
Did McCain deliver the proposal in person or is he even the one who helped put it together? Or is someone else the understudy filling in...
Yep, it’s down right sickening.
McCain is still in Arizona and has been since released from Walter Reed.
I read the title incorrectly. Please forgive me Lord.
