Scream for more immigration to fill low end jobs and then cry with a complete lack of comprehension when low end jobs stay at a low pay rate for decades.

Amen! Lindsey Graham is a traitor to Americans. We need a business commercial culture that is dependent on responsible spending and minimal debt, and not over populating the US with those more likely to be on the dole than off for cheap labor.

Desperate, but SMART strategy. By saying if you don’t DESTROY the country in long term, life may be a bit tougher for you guys in the short term.

He is appealing to the SELFISHNESS and HATRED that the Baby Boom generation has towards this country - it just may work.

It also does sound like he’s about out of options in trying to sucker the Republican Party to go his way.

(and I know, not all boomers, and certainly not the ones that post here - but you are outnumbered in our society)

Linda is a pathological liar. Comes from pretending not to be a homosexual for so long.

How is the addition of 20 million America hating welfare leeches going to restore the solvency of America’s failed social security system?

Abortion has killed off the next generation of US Citizen workers, and the middle aged ones are looking for work or trying to hold on to what they have, younger, GOOD LUCK finding a job if you have not higher than HS skills. You can’t compete with the ILLEGALS.

Lindsey Boy might lose his senator-ship now that a third party conservative has announced in South Carolina...

The Tea Party types (I am one, but in Texas) might decide splitting the vote and sending a real progressive instead of a pseudo-progressive to Washington might not make any difference and send a message to his GOPe (rhymes with DOPe) friends.

Actually Lindsay, all you have to do is tell all of the Democrat voting baby boomers that they will not be receiving any Social Security as they were voting all of those years to murder all of the babies who would be in their 20s, 30s, and 40s now and paying into Socail Security.

How does adding people to a Ponzi scheme save it?
How does adding poor people who will be net beneficiaries help? That's like adding people to a sinking ship. If we were adding millionaires, this might work.

Nobody says welfare is running out of money... but social security is!

Funny, because social security is said to be paid to those who earned it... but welfare will always be funded for those who never earned it. Ain’t socialism great?
