Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R., Ariz.) and Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.) plan to unveil a proposal that offers a path to citizenship for Dreamers and orders a comprehensive study to determine what border-security measures are needed. But the bill stops well short of almost all of the president’s demands—including immediate funding for the wall along the southern border—and is likely to meet a chilly reception from conservative Republicans.
Still, Mr. McCain, who was diagnosed with brain cancer last summer and has been working from Arizona since late 2017, retains powerful sway among his GOP colleagues. His bill with Mr. Coons could also benefit from good timing, as the March 5 deadline draws closer and lawmakers grapple with the political consequences of failing to reach any agreement.
“It’s time we end the gridlock so we can quickly move on to completing a long-term budget agreement that provides our men and women in uniform the support they deserve,” Mr. McCain said in a statement Sunday.

They can Shove it ....NO DACA .....Wall YES !!!
& Make Mexico PAY for Every bit of it !!!
No deal traitors.
Chris Coons and John McCain are both ignorant fools. The President said no DACA reform without border protection; can't these people comprehend simple English?
There goes the traitor McCain again giving the Democrats everything they want without getting anything in return. I don't know who would have been worse as President, McCain or Obama. Obama we know was a lousy President but I think McCain would have been worse(if that could ever be possible given BO's record).
The exact opposite of what this country really needs!
We already knew Coons is a dumbocrat and McCain is a RINO - looks like McCain switched parties completely knowing he's not re-electable!
I agree with 9:34 McCain is indeed a traitor. I believed in the man at one time and was sorry for the time he served as a prisoner of war. Since that I have read as everyone has he has cheated on his wife and been quite open with that fact, and he always tries to look like he had such a good military record when in fact he didn't, it is all fluff the man is a walking, talking liar.
Mexico WILL be paying for the Wall in a Year weather they
Like it or not !!
WE can Tax all the booze & other goods that come here &
D O N E !!!! No American $$$ will need be used !!!
And that my friends is why Donald Trump is President and he ain't.
Take care of our American DREAMERS !!! First
Who are American / pay taxes / born here / not Illegal !!!
Geez, why can't they compromise. A truly dying man cannot, WILL NOT compromise. Damn!
McCain's last middle finger to the country that gave him everything
DACA = Damn America Criminal Association !!!
A fake war hero and an idiot from Delaware....no wonder they don't want a wall! This will never pass!!!!
No wall, No dice. Time to empower ICE!
One Senile RINO with dementia from AZ and one crooked socialist from DE, what else would you expect? Both are puppets to their masters Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Make Delaware Great Again and vote Coons Out!
John McCain one of the most corrupt and useless of all the people in power. Such a poor pilot he almost sunk his own Aircraft Carrier and then finally was shot down so he couldn't kill any more US sailors. Then becomes a US Senator and sell his services to the banking industry. Should have been in jail. How this garbage has been allowed to represent our interests is beyond me. Another example of the swamp that is the government.
Wall IS Coming, with an Electric Fence too !!!
McCain has a brain tumor.he should step down. Not thinking straight. Why does he need to be concerned. He should enjoy what time he has left or is it the type that hangs on for a few years. Any way he needs to step down.
No wonder why President Trump made those comment referring to McCain not being a hero.
Exactly tight.
DACA kids are now 24 years old, why have they not applied for citizenship! That what every other immigrants have done for years!
Let's have WALL Funding with NO DACA !!!! Ever
