Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) responded Tuesday to Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) newfound support for comprehensive immgiration reform including normalizing the status of undocumented immigrants.

“I think it’s fine,” he said. “I don’t know. It means that when every senator makes up their mind, I hope all 100 will support what we come up with.”

“I just heard that he supports a path to citizenship. I’ve been busy. I don’t analyze peoples’ speeches,” he said. “I think it’s fine. I also think it’s fine that the RNC yesterday came out for immigration reform as part of their agenda. … Anybody who agrees with it, it’s helpful.”

McCain and Paul recently clashed over the issue of U.S. drone policy.
