McCain surprisingly open-minded when talking to DREAM Act students (VIDEO)

John McCain was in Superior, AZ and shows some surprising humanity and empathy towards DREAM Act students.

If you recall, John McCain used to be in favor of the DREAM Act and was once a sponsor. McCain also favors a guest-worker program and he also used to be the top US Senator for comprehensive immigration reform.

Since John McCain will win re-election this year, and he is no longer running against extreme right-wingers, maybe he will come back to his more humanitarian stance and work with the other Senators to pass the DREAM Act. His comments at the end of the video are surprising at least to me.

It only needs 5 more votes, and Harry Reid agreed to bring it up if he gets those extra votes.


As the left moves to the right in the general, hopefully we can get the right to move far enough to the left to make some change!
