Daily Caller ^ | December 2, 2016 | Kerry Picket

WASHINGTON — South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham confirmed Thursday he is in the process of reaching out to former “Gang of Eight” members to help him craft legislation that would protect immigrants who illegally entered the country as children from deportation.

Graham and other Gang of Eight members — Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, and Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet — crafted immigration legislation in 2013 that passed the Senate but was never taken up for a vote in the House.

Decline of America's white population accelerating, study finds

Other good stuff from The Hill.

A bit gloating. Soon Evil Whitey will be wiped from the face of the land, helped by his own Overseers.

Like the Gang of Eight. Who may find some issues this time on their quest of replacing the Americans with Mexico.

It is long past time someone punched Lindsey Graham in the mouth and told him to "stop being a little bitch!"

South Carolina, you need to burn this @$$hole. Lindsey Graham is way past his time to be yanked off the stage.

I’d get mad at South Carolina for sending this turd to the Senate, but Arizona just returned Turd McCain, and we sent lying Jeff McFlake there 4 years ago...and knowing Arizona, McFlake may win reelection.

The Senate is like a hiking boot with dog turds stuck to its waffle sole - darn tough to clean out!

I don’t think the House is interested.

Had their chance in 2014. Sent him back until 2020 instead.

Memo to SC voters: all politics is *NOT* local.

Florida loves what Rubio did for Trump. So does Donald.

McCain, Graham, Rubio and Flake are the “gang of four” and part of our “majority” in Congress.

So if a gang banger who came here illegally at 16 shoots or rapes someone, we aren’t supposed to be able to deport him when he gets out of jail? Good job at telling off your base again Lindsey.

Donald needs to find out what the blackmail material is on Linda. It’s unfair only democrats get to use it.

Well, with Obama they couldn’t override a veto. With Trump, they might be able to, as you have a large number of Republicans who are and always have been, Democrats. They just pretend otherwise. Linda is one of those. Trump will have difficulty keeping them in line, he will have to use the bully pulpit and the power of the office for grants to states, etc. to bring them in line.

If they (SC) love this a-hole so much, why don’t they make him their governor. That way they don’t force the rest of us to be subjected to his BS ideas.

Curious what those Dem Senators, who won election in 2012 in Red and Purple state on Obama coattails, think happens to their chances running for re-election alone in 2018 if they decide to play the brain dead obstructionist game for the next two years?

What’s he doing talking politics?
