McCain aims to revive immigration reform when he returns to Congress

A week after his dramatic call for bipartisanship on Capitol Hill, Sen. John McCain says he wants to revive a long-standing attempt to reform the nation’s immigration system when he returns to Washington.

Before leaving Washington for treatment for brain cancer, McCain, R-Ariz., said he broached the idea with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The two collaborated on unsuccessful immigration legislation in 2013 as part of the bipartisan effort known as the "Gang of Eight."

Immigration reform is one of the issues I'd like to see resolved," McCain told The Arizona Republic in a Thursday interview. "I've got to talk to him (Schumer) about when would be the best time. I think there are all kinds of deals to be made out there. I really do."

Being close to death has made him a more compassionate senator.

"I don't know, but what I do know is that if we could pass it through the House and Senate the way we passed it through the Senate last time, it's like this Russia (sanctions) bill, it doesn't matter," McCain said. "Do you think he signed it because he liked it?"

I don't think he would veto a CIR bill !

Idk man I'm tired of McCain and lindsey graham Playing with my heart and messing with my emotions both voted against Dream Act then then smiled and smirk.

I'm sick of the games.

Trump thinks appealing to the base will garner him the same support he once had. Who knows what he might do.

Can you imagine that heart break? Lol
Passes house and senate finally. Vetoed by president

I think they would have some idea of how he would vote. They'd probably try to pass it with a veto proof majority like the Russian sanctions bill.

Man , fingers crossed it happens

Republicans hate him. I don't he will be any help.

I can't trust that guy anymore. He says something positive and then comes out with something completely different
