John McCain Admits He 'Didn't Pay Attention' to Trump's Popular, Pro-American Immigration Priorities - Breitbart
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) confirmed a previous Breitbart News report, admitting that he has not even read President Trump’s 70-point, detailed list of popular, pro-American immigration reforms.
In an interview with The Hill, McCain said he “didn’t pay attention” to Trump’s immigration priorities, which include:
Construction of a border wall
Deporting unaccompanied alien children who are not at-risk in their native country
Preventing criminal illegal aliens and gang members from receiving immigration benefits
Mandating E-Verify, which weeds out illegal aliens from taking U.S. jobs
Eliminating the diversity visa lottery
Classifying overstaying a visa as a “misdemeanor”
Restricting certain federal grants to sanctuary cities that refuse to detain criminal illegal aliens
Ending family-based chain migration
Enacting a merit-based legal immigration where only qualified immigrants can enter the U.S.
“I didn’t pay attention to them,” McCain said of the popular immigration priorities. “There’s no reason for me to pay attention to them.”
When The Hill asked McCain why he had not taken the immigration priorities seriously, he said, “because it’s non-starters.”
