GOP Sen. John McCain said Tuesday the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is so dire the military needs to be deployed to patrol the region as soon as possible.

Gee, why didn’t he say that in, say, September 2008?
So what about the law? What difference does it make?
McStain must have an election coming up
FUJM !
There is a lot of land along the border that would be suitable for military gunnery ranges and artillery practice.
it must be election year again.
Right on time. MCCAIN MUST BE UP FOR RE-ELECTION!
Gee, he must be posturing for a campaign ad. that’s the only thing that would cause him to do this.
mccain was in favor of wall and military on the border in 2008, but then suddenly its crazy talk when trump propose it
The pusher of Amnesty is now proposing militarizing the border, must be re-election time. If he wins, he’ll go back to pushing Amnesty, and never mention controlling the border again.
I hope he gets sent into retirement.
Being primaried has put the fear of God in McQueeg.
McCain is talking tough on the border.
Must be an election year.
Finally, McDodo stumbles onto Captain Obvious.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.All a President has to do is issue a declaration that illegal border crossers are engaging in invasion, and direct the military to put a stop to it. He needs no further authority from Congress or the Courts.
Retire this guy to pasture Arizona ..please!
What does McCain want with the military down there?
To kill off the ranchers and small town citizens who interfere with the precious wetbacks who only want to come out of the water? And the tunnels? And the vans and semi-trailers?
Oh sorry I meant to say out of the shadows.
Heck, you’d almost think this is election year for the scheming bald traitorous little maniac, right?
I almost gagged when I read the title. What’s next, Build That Wall?
WOW , his Poll numbers must very BAD
