Lindsey Graham: As President, ‘I Would Veto Any Bill’ Without Path To Citizenship
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - May 8, 2015 Likely Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham predicted Thursday that the GOP will lose the 2016 presidential election unless they win over Hispanic voters by supporting a “long, hard path to citizenship.”
“If I were president of the United States, I would veto any bill that did not have a pathway to citizenship,” the South Carolina Republican told USA Today. “You would have a long, hard path to citizenship … but I want to create that path because I don’t like the idea of millions of people living in America for the rest of their lives being the hired help. That’s not who we are.”
Mr. Graham argued that his party risks losing the presidency with its current hard line on immigration.
“We’ll lose,” he told USA Today. “I mean, we’ve got a big hole we’ve dug with Hispanics. We’ve gone from 44 percent of the Hispanic vote (in the 2004 presidential election) to 27 percent (in 2012). You’ll never convince me … it’s not because of the immigration debate.”

Linda is a joke. Stupid and clueless.
Mexicans and Central Americans will vote for the dems by a large majority if they are made citizens. Hell, many of them are probably voting now.
this won’t get him nominated, but unfortunately it might just get him elected
They don't have to live here. If they don't like being the "hired help", they can always pack up and move home.
They aren't slaves. No one forced them to come here.
SC, bring back old “Storm Thunder” even if he would be 113. He couldn’t be any worse that what you have.
This action would incentivize, not stop illegal immigration. Albeit slower, the end will result in uncontested open borders.
A path already exists. Read LAW and history loser.

I guess we veto you, Lindsey.
He’ll never be President.
The Uniparty is pushing hard for Americans to give up their country without a fight.
He needs to just go away.
Graham needs to establish a third party designed to strictly capture the illegal vote.
Stick a fork in this dumba$$.
He continues to attempt to “out liberal” the liberals.....
What hard line on immigration?
Well; I guess he can scratch himself off the list of real contenders!
Anyone here illegally should never be allowed citizenship.
Lesser evil speaks!
Well you don’t have a snowballs chance pal so spout your stupidity all you want, it only cements your position as a dumb clown.
