McCain, Coons immigration bill sparks Trump backlash
TheThe president said it was a non-starter to offer a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Hill ^ | Feb. 5, 2018 | Jordain Carney

A bill aimed at resetting immigration negotiations in the Senate is running into early backlash from President Trump.

The bill from Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.), introduced on Monday, pairs a path to citizenship for “dreamers” with border security measures — but does not include funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

The two senators believe their bill could be a base for negotiators among a wider group of senators, but Trump took a shot at the measure before it was even formally introduced.

The president said it was a non-starter to offer a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects many immigrants who entered the United States illegally as children, without funding for the wall.

“Any deal on DACA that does not include STRONG border security and the desperately needed WALL is a total waste of time,” he wrote in a tweet. “March 5th is rapidly approaching and the Dems seem not to care about DACA. Make a deal!”

Anyone seen McLame in public lately?

No. Who is his ghost writer of the bill?

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Pretty damn clear that McCain is busy dying, since he hasn’t shown his face for the past couple of months, nor (as far as I know) actually shown up for work (in spite of receiving a paycheck to do so). So WHO REALLY WROTE THIS? Does anyone have proof it was actually McCain and not someone acting (with or without his permission) on his behalf? How can we have a government with so little accountability that a bill can be introduced under someone’s name with no proof that someone actually had anything to do with it?

Come on, Senate Republicans - grow a pair and start asking these questions!

His grandfather was an admiral during WWII. He survived just long enough to be with McArthur on the Missouri in Tokyo Bay.

Died a week later.

I think you both are on the right track.

I do not see it as McCain’s place to set policy for the nation.

He is not president, and his actions here are uncalled for, unless he is a Leftist and want’s to advance it’s cause.

He’s not thinking clearly.

Yes, that would be as good as a wall, maybe better!

Trump has 'em by the short-hairs in this DACA negotiation.

If they agree to his terms he will whittle down the number of DACA people to include only those with a totally clean record, who work, graduated school, are not on welfare of any sort....those that meet such requirements are not all that likely to vote overwhelmingly for crazy dems.

If they don't agree to Trump's terms he will have them rounded up and shipped out.

lose-lose

Martinez is in Santa Fe, and she is term-limited, I believe. The state is overwhelming Democrat of course.

oops. You are correct. I got my SW states mixed up.

I once almost moved to New Mexico, and was told by friends I’d regret it. I would have.

Then again, I moved to Virginia when it was solid red. Sad to see the commonwealth decline so rapidly - I hardly recognize it now

You and me both, that man is being so blatant in his attempts to sabotage Trump that he might as well declare himself a domestic terrorist.

No. Last I read was Lindsay Graham went to see him in AZ weeks ago... “Privately, Republicans say they’ve been given no guidance on whether the six-term senator will return in time to put his imprimatur on the negotiations.” https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/05/john-mccain-dreamers-senate-immigration-389959

That’s it.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Barasso and Enzi are all owned by the Cheap Labor Express.

And here is Juan's little 30 second ad when he was running for reelection back in 2010.

"Complete The Danged Fence"

What a disgusting character he is and always has been.

On which list?

The rest of South Carolina’s Congressional delegation are all known Cheap Labor Express stooges, Scott has been very cagey about the topic.

Good find. What fraudulent POS. For those who wondered how the hell did this traitor get re-elected.

McCain screwed up Obamacare too. And we are feeling the pain from McCain.
