Sen. John McCain Supports Effort to Force Vote on Immigration Bill in House of Representatives
KTLA, Jun 2, 2018, CNN Wire

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.

How in the heck cares what John McCain thinks.  He is irrelevant.  He no longer works; all he does is collect a paycheck at the expense of the taxpayers.

Are we sure that's him sending the tweet? 

I still think he's not with us mentally and someone else is speaking and writing for him.

Hey Crazy Johnny. If this is important to you why don't you stop being dead for a couple days and head back to DC to rally your Progressive troops. Some make-up and a gallon of cologne and no one will notice you died 8 weeks ago.

That's what I wondered.  I seriously doubt if he's capable of forming a thought, much less sending a tweet.

In case you haven't heard hes a senator.  His opinion on house issues matters less then mine.  Especially since he can't actually do his job.

At this point I'd be surprised if Johnny knew what day it was.

He can support whatever he wants, but he needs to show the eff up or step the eff down.

We probably talking about his daughter or wife or one of his staff since there is no proof he is even alive let alone capable of putting out his own tweets.

 McCain plans to introduce a bill on immigration on his next trip to the Senate.  He told McConnell the draft will be in his breast pocket and to grab it when he is on display in the rotunda.

Nah ... on McConnell's last visit to see him, he handed him his obit written by himself, praising and glorifying what a wonderful man he was!

I set that for as my brothers ringtone when he barely survived stroking out during brain surgery. Unfortunately for McShame I think he has quite a lot to fear from the Reaper, or at least the Reapers Master.

Along with his request for unanimous consent to embalm.
