Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) responded Tuesday to Jeb Bush’s newfound doubts in his recent book about creating a pathway to citizenship for people in the country illegally.

“I respect his views and we will continue to move forward with the proposal that we have,” McCain said in response to a question from TPM.

“I noticed today that Jeb Bush said we didn’t want it to be a magnet for people who come here illegally, and that’s why we are talking so seriously about employer sanctions,” he told reporters. “So if people who want to come to this country illegally know that they can’t get a job then that takes care of the magnet side.”
