Monday on CNN’s “Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” Republican presidential candidate Senator Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized his rival Donald Trump’s immigration and ISIS plans.
Graham said, “I think it’s a bad practice to give citizenship based on birth. We have evidence of people buying tourist visas for the express purpose of coming over here and having a child as birth tourism. I don’t think that’s a good idea. But that’s not going to happen until we fix a broken immigration system. Donald Trump’s eight-page plan is absolute gibberish, that is unworkable. Mitt Romney said his biggest mistake as a candidate for president was embracing self-deportation. That hurt our party. Donald Trump’s plan is forced deportation. It’s not going to work. It is unworkable. This idea of invading Iraq and taking their oil is literally insane.”
Graham added that he “absolutely” agrees with changing citizenship based on birth, “After we fix our broken immigration system, that comes second, not first. And you might can do it statutorily, but what Donald Trump is not doing, is embracing a workable solution to a broken immigration system. We’re not going to force deport 11 million people. This is worse than self-deportation. We’ve got two problems as Republicans, Hispanics and women, and this plan is really just incredibly unworkable, and I think it’s going to hurt the Republican Party. We’re going backwards on immigration, not forward, as a party.”

Hey Linseed, do all of us here a favor and go take a lonnng walk on a short pier.
Lindsie, you are the reason Trump exists.
Enjoy!
By all means lets find out what the candidate with less than 1% support thinks.
They let him on tv? I have a cat that if invited would have got better ratings. He has litter box clumps that are smarter and have a better personality than linsay.
I think Nikki Haley, SC Governor, should start lining up a replacement for Graham, he’s diffidently going to switch parties and head over to the dark side.
Graham fought all his life to make it into the 2%, unfortunately it turned out to be his poll numbers.
What’s the betting line on first dropout?
I think I read something that NJFatboy was thinking about it.
Graham seems like a contender also.
The best part of Trump’s plan is it requires no action by Congress. No executive order that is Unconstitutional. Merely “ICE, enforce the law.”. Beautiful. Priceless. The hopes of the Rat/enemedia complex and the GOPe/ CoC go up in smoke. Poof!
Ummmm...... no.
Why are.the lamestreams wasting our time giving so much air time to a guy polling less than 1%? Oh wait, he is pushing the MSM agenda.
I was just passing by MSNBC when they were playing a montage of all The Cheap Labor Express employees reactions to Trump’s immigration plan.
Grahamnesty, NJFatBoy, and the rest were all babbling about how we can’t, we shouldn’t, we won’t enforce our laws or stand up for our sovereignty.
We The People have a different opinion.
They’re really in a panic.
Says Graham, the son of alcohol vendors eh?
You love them anchor babies eh Lindsay?
You are so right.
“After we fix our broken immigration system, that comes second, not first.”
He seriously doesn’t see this birthright thing as a ‘carrot on a stick’ to illegals? He doesn’t think stopping that first and foremost won’t stop one of the incentives for coming here? Is he from Planet Gibberish?
This country might be ready for a black president or a female president, but . . .
Get rid of this turd, South Carolina!
he is in this to be a spoiler in his own state.
what are his numbers in that state.
That idiot is trying to McCain himself as VP.
Won’t happen, but then again, we have had Joe Biden as VP for 7 years now.....
