Does anyone really care what John McCain says any more - I mean really? His long, slow downhill slide ended at rock bottom when he pick Palin as a running mate and whatever respect I had for the man was gone. I think I would rather hear what Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton thinks.....

How are these 2,000 illegals that much different from many members of Congress?
They both do nothing productive, get free health care and free food and housing and many of the members of Congress have, or will, commit serious crimes, and likely get off with no punishment. In addition to being paid an obscene salary for doing nothing and only working 126 days this session.

Is John even married anymore?
The last photo I saw of Mrs. McCain was on the cover of the National Enquirer or National Examiner....one of those ...."scandal rags".

What is John "Keating Five" McCain complaining about ??????????
This is just what he and newly elected Senator Jeff "Utah Compact" Flake have been asking for............................AMNESTY FOR 20,000,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS CRIMINALS WHO ENTERED THE UNIITED STATES ..........ILLEGALLY.

McCain is a piece of work !
He unequivocally endorses amnesty, although won't admit it. He chooses to hide his aim using words other than amnesty.
He is aware that the burden (cost) of amnesty will fall on the shoulders of working, tax paying Americans.
He is aware that low wage paying businesses, and the left, will reap the benefits of increased lower class population. People buying more things, and more land owners collecting rents paid. But the American people will be footing the bills.
He is also aware that amnesty will increase costs of welfare, education, the judicial / legal and corrections industries, hospital and medical industries, and many other public costs. But again the American people will foot the bills.
McCain is pandering to his constituencies, which represent big business, even bigger government and the military industrial war industry.
How the press can refer to him as conservative is a joke.
If McCain, a dyed in the wool true RHINO, a carpetbagger, were a true patriot he would resign, and allow the voters to elect a real conservative.

I guess the ole rino thinks it's okay to release them as long as no additional crimes have been committed. Why didn't he complain when this first happened? Because now he is facing backlash from his comments about the filibuster...

This is nothing more than an attempt to calm the anger over his stupid comments about Rand Paul and the filibuster. McCain, quit feigning concern over the release to detract from the rino criticism. You need to retire....NOW.

What a hypocrite! In 1991, I lived in the area of 15th Ave & Northern and there was a shooting at a house directly across the street. The Phoenix P.D. arrived and rounded up 35 undocumented aliens. The P.D. were instructed to release these people into the neighborhood and without a dime to their name. They held these people for an hour while I made calls to the Border Patrol, Senator McCain's and Kyl's office and our Washington representatives refused to do anything as well as border patrol.
I thought about this for a long time and realized they don't care, for these people were nothing more than disposable and cheap labor for many of their campaign donors.

two things, yes the names and crimes or at least a list of crimes should be made available and two: McCain needs to release the name of his local source. The question immediately comes up as to why he will not name them. The answer to me is obvious... It's nothing more than politically motivated on McCains part. (i have a suspician I know who the local source is, King joe arpaio. Now there is some political motivation for ya.)

Sen McCain "... has said a path to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants must be contingent on better border security." Sure, well that's gonna work real great considering Border Patrol cuts due to Sequestration.
Why no emphasis on employers who hire illegals? Too much 'pull?'
