Graham: Trump's immigration plan is 'stupid' and 'illegal'
Politico ^ | 08/25/15 | Nick Gass

Lindsey Graham excoriated Republican presidential rival Donald Trump on Tuesday morning for his immigration plan, calling it both “stupid” and “illegal.”

In an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Graham addressed Trump’s immigration proposal, which would call for the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, revoke birthright citizenship from the children of immigrants who came to the United States illegally and call for the construction of a wall along the United States’ 1,900-mile long border with Mexico.

“Well, Donald Trump’s plan on immigration is stupid,” the South Carolina senator said. “It’s illegal.”

If you try to deport American-born children of immigrants who came to the country illegally, “you’ll get creamed in court,” he added.

Most Hispanics, Graham remarked, find Trump offensive.

“I find him offensive,” he said. “His solution is just constitutionally flawed. It’s not practical.”

Graham also took aim at Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus who in an interview over the weekend said that Trump is a “net positive” for the party.

“I think that’s dumb, too,” he said.

She’s quite right - it is stupid and illegal. I’d add that its immoral and impractical as well as likely to be ineffective.

Wow...TRUMP has really exposed the Republican Party for what it has become...a party that ignores its base and has joined hands with the Democrats and their socialized vision for this country.

No ....

Ignoring Federal Law regarding immigrants that come into our country without following our immigration laws IS illegal.

Leaving the border wide open IS illegal.

Oh and it’s immoral to force tax payers to pay for illegal’s anchor babies too.

Just call him a maggot, who has been caught outside in the sunshine. He is flopping around and starting to get really spastic. He/it knows that he/it can’t survive be exposed to the sunlight.

He’s terrified an outsider would reveal all the evil he’s done in Syria and with boys in his office.

Deported illegals have every right to take their dependent U.S. citizen children with them. If they choose to leave them behind, then they become wards of the United States. Such status would insure that they attend schools, speak English, and understand our nation’s history and values.

We don’t have to deport the children, we deport their parents. The parents can elect to have their kids adopted, or they take them back to Mexico.Children belong to their parents, didn’t we learn that from Elian Gonzales?

“I find him offensive,”

I know you are, but what am I?

Has he had any harsh things to say about Obama’s immigration plan? He’s had 6 or 7 years to comment on it. If republicans in congress stood up to Obama (on anything) rather than following him then Trump probably wouldn’t be doing so well.
