McCain says he supports effort to force pro-DREAMer immigration bill to House floor

Washington (CNN) - 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.

Did McCain actually utter this, or did his chief of staff utter it? For the last six months, I think the staff has basically run everything.

Citizen should sue any legislation passed with McCain’s vote. There has to be a competency rule for Senators in office!

McCain needs to start releasing proof of life with each statement.

If he cannot travel to D.C. To vote he is unable to serve Arizona. Senate majority too small for the baloney

Combining business with pleasure — he’s pro-amnesty, and he hates Trump.

I've seen it written that the North Vietnamese considered Juan McLame to be “cooperative” (my word) while at the Hanoi Hilton.Anyone know of any evidence to support such a claim?

Oh, it won’t stop. Whoever is putting out this stuff for the corpse will just start attributing it to his “memoir” or some other legacy. We will never scrape this dogshit off our shoe.

He's going to live on forever at the keyboard. At some point they'll dress up one of his staff to attend meetings.

Years down the road we'll discover that he died long ago and they hid it.

For a guy who hasn't been seen in public for months, and is hovering near death, he seems to have a lot to say on a number of different issues in recent weeks.

If anyone was unsure whether this is a good idea (although I don’t know how any normal American could be unsure), McCain’s support should be the nail in the coffin of that legislation. Speaking of a nail in the coffin . . .

McConnell has reportedly said he will only bring legislation to the floor of the Senate that President Donald J Trump will sign.

You lose, McCain. Again.

the Arizona Republican wrote in a tweet.

CNN offers NO PROOF the tweet was written by John McCain.
