White House official slams Graham on immigration
The Hill, Feb 15, 2018, Jordan Fabian

A White House official on Thursday anonymously attacked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) for his role in the immigration debate in Congress.

The official slammed Graham in harsh terms after the senator blasted top White House aide Stephen Miller and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for opposing a bipartisan proposal to protect so-called Dreamers.

“He has been an obstacle to immigration reform. He has been an obstacle in the way of getting relief for Dreamers,” the official said of Graham.

The official also accused Graham of being the “chairman of the Democratic conference” because of his views of immigration.

Someone needs to find out who's signing Linda's paychecks. He is utterly obsessed with normalizing illegals.

Statement from Department of Homeland Security

Schumer-Rounds-Collins Destroys Ability of DHS to Enforce Immigration Laws, Creating a Mass Amnesty For Over 10 Million Illegal Aliens, Including Criminals
 
Release Date: February 15, 2018.

The Schumer-Rounds-Collins proposal destroys the ability of the men and women from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to remove millions of illegal aliens. It would be the end of immigration enforcement in America and only serve to draw millions more illegal aliens with no way to remove them.  By halting immigration enforcement for all aliens who will arrive before June 2018, it ignores the lessons of 9/11 and significantly increases the risk of crime and terrorism.

It is an egregious violation of the four compromise pillars laid out by the President’s immigration reform framework. Instead of helping to secure the border as the President has repeatedly asked Congress to do, it would do the exact opposite and make our border far more open and porous. It would ensure a massive wave of new illegal immigration by exacerbating the pull factors caused by legal loopholes.  By keeping chain migration intact, the amendment would expand the total legalized population to potentially ten million new legal aliens – simultaneously leading to undercutting the wages of American workers, threatening public safety and undermining national security.

The changes proposed by Senators Schumer-Rounds-Collins would effectively make the United States a Sanctuary Nation where ignoring the rule of law is encouraged.

Graham's Reply to the DHS statement ...

Graham blasts Homeland Security statement as 'poisonous'
The Hill, Feb 15, 2018

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) blasted a statement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) criticizing a bipartisan immigration deal he worked on as "poisonous" and "ridiculous."

"The DHS press release is over the top. It's poisonous. I think its ridiculous and I've long since stopped paying attention to them," he said.

Graham added that any time the department is offered money for the border wall they should "say thank you."

DHS ripped a deal offered by a bipartisan coalition of senators, saying it "destroys" the department's ability to remove undocumented immigrants from the country and "ignores the lessons" of Sept. 11, 2001.

"...I've long since stopped paying attention to them (DHS),"

Clearly this is true. The people he speak on behalf of rack up a body count of American citizens to the tune of 12 per day.

Come now. Menendez was cleared of all charges and even the people in his own state don't know who Bennet is. They should be re-elected with no problems.

They're going to retry that Lloyd Gettys looking MFer, Menendez.

I think they actually changed their minds about that.  He's so scummy ;(.

Yes - you’re correct.  There are stories within a week of each other that say he’d be retried on fewer charges, then the DOJ scrapped it.  He still faces Senate ethnics proceedings, but they generally don’t amount to much.

Flake isn't running, and McCain will probably croak this year.
