STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PASSAGE OF COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM LEGISLATION

 

Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following statement on the passage of comprehensive immigration reform legislation by the Senate Judiciary Committee:

 

“By a strong 13-5 vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee tonight passed our comprehensive immigration reform legislation, setting the stage for its consideration of the floor of the U.S. Senate next month. Through rigorous debate and an open, transparent amendment process over the last few weeks, the Committee improved the bill in many ways, including by strengthening its provisions on border security, interior enforcement and worker visas. I thank Chairman Leahy for his steadfast leadership of the Committee, and for making tough decisions in the interest of accomplishing landmark reform. I also applaud Senators Schumer, Graham, Durbin and Flake, co-authors of this legislation whose hard work and dedication guided it through the Committee. This is a significant first step, and there will be more tests to come, but this accomplishment makes me guardedly optimistic for the success of the legislation.”

TERRORISM

Security Update

A Defeatist President Throws in the Towel

Year's after he prematurely declared Al Qaeda defeated, today President Obama told the world that we cannot defeat Islamic Terror. We can wipe out a few terror cells, but Terrorism, in his mind, is here to stay. It is clear that if President Obama has his way, America's enemies will have little to fear.

Now we know why the President banished a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House: He couldn't stand to look at a leader who, when faced with a mighty foe, refused to give up and destroyed his enemy. Sir Winston was too militant for Obama.

Obama's speech will embolden terrorists worldwide. Obama needs a dose of reality.

He needs to learn that tiny Israel which is outnumbered by its enemies has virtually eradicated its terrorists. How did they do this? By effectively fighting them. By calling terrorism what it is: TERRORISM.

Now more than ever, the American people must fight against these defeatist policies. There is no more powerful political force than the American people. It was the American people who defeated the Nazis, Japanese and Soviets.

We can and we will defeat the Islamic terrorists as well. We need you to help by recruiting 10 people to join Secure America Now. The bigger we grow, the more influence we carry. We are already a quarter Million strong.

The Gipper

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed. When the British forgot that they got a revolution. And, as a result, we Americans got a Constitution; a Constitution that, as those who wrote it were determined, would keep men free. If we give up part of that Constitution we give up part of our freedom and increase the chance that we will lose it all." --Ronald Reagan

"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy... The Second Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important." - John F. Kennedy
