Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urged President Trump to support a revived DREAM Act and said at the “snap of his fingers” Trump could convince the Republican Party to unite behind providing a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants. Graham, who won re-election in 2014, also told South Carolina residents who oppose the DREAM Act not to vote for him.

Lindsey should get checked out for blood cloths.
And... If you’re not from South Carolina, Graham doesn’t want your votes either.
Do South Carolinians agree? That IS the question.
Pitchforks and tarring and feathering would probably be that more appropriate than simply not voting for this commissar wannabe.
There is a pathway to citizenship and it doesn’t involve jumping the border.
Should bank robbers be given a pathway to economic freedom?
What an embarrassment Sen. Graham is! And an impediment too.
Linda needs professional help
How does a person like this become a Senator? A disgusting closeted homo with a hatred of American values and utter disregard for the Constitution and the authority of the President. It depresses me.
You think he actually has periods?
Deal!
There is and has been a pathway to citizenship for immigrants. The illegal aliens pissed on that and should not be rewarded for it!
“How does a person like this become a Senator? “
He bull$hits a bunch of Southerners into thinking he’s like them. Those same Southerners need to take note of the fact that hie ISN’T like them in 2020 and find a replacement.
It’s a deal Lindsey!
This guy never comes close to losing and it’s extremely unsettling. What’s the matter with South Carolina?
No. Because of the failure to reign in the nearly unfettered illegal immigration problem after Reagan’s ‘Dream act’ the perfect reason why not to.
Well this is one South Carolinian who won’t be voting for him, and neither will my husband so that makes 2 so far!!
My husband immigrated from England back in the late 90’s and got his citizenship in 2000. It costs us almost $2,000. He did it the right way, so I have 0 sympathy for anyone who cant be bothered to follow the law.
“Do South Carolinians agree? That IS the question.”
In 2014 Senator Graham ran in the Republican primary and beat 6 other candidates with 56.4% of the vote. The next highest primary challenger, Lee Bright, receive 15.5% of the vote. Graham benefited from a split field and absence of a strong challenger. He also likely benefited from Democrat crossover voters in the primary. Plus he had a huge war chest which allowed him to blanket the state with ads
In the November general election Graham beat his Democrat opponent, Brad Hutto, by a margin of 55.3% to 38.8%. The rest of the vote was split between an independent and the Libertarian candidate. Graham spent $9 million on his campaign versus his Huto’s $342,000. Graham also refused to debate his opponents.
South Carolina voters like their Graham.
Lindsay has access to big money, his opponents don’t. With a big war chest Graham’s message drowns out the opposition plus he can afford a strong ground game.
Graham one of many examples of the power of incumbency. So far he has beaten back every challenger and continues to be take stands which seem to be against hist constituents. South Carolina proves a conservative primary candidate isn’t going to beat an entrenched establishment incumbent on message alone. In 2020 it is going to take a very strong candidate with extremely deep pockets to beat Graham in primaries. So far, that candidate has failed to appear.
Look in both ends.
