Many good people mistake their reputation for their character. It is a mistake I have made many, many times.
John McCainWe can't go on forever with 11 million people living in this country in the shadows in an illegal status. We cannot forever have children who were born here - who were brought here by their parents when they were small children to live in the shadows, as well... What's changed, honestly, is that there is a new appreciation on both sides of the aisle, maybe more importantly on the Republican side, that we need to enact a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
John McCainWe have a lot of work to do and Iโm afraid that itโs a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border.
