Linsey Gramnesty,

Now hear us, America loud and clear!!

1.Shut the border, and that means drug runners too.

2. Build the Fence.

3. Stop sending Our Great Border Patrol to prison for years
on testimony of known Drug Dealers. One Border Patrol Agent just was free and got his job back and backpay after six years in prison.Two more sit in prison,serving TWELVE Year sentences on testimony of a scumbag drug runner who got special favors from Our Government for the testimony.

4. Then We Americans might start to listen to your other
crap.

Oh, and Mr. Gramnesty, the title Senator does not befit you, hopefully the good citizens of SC will take care of that shortly.

"President Bush and I made it clear we would not compromise on our guiding principle that securing our nation’s borders must be our first priority."

This is true....so do it!

When Graham loses his primary, look for the little prick to become the Bob Barr of La Raza.

You would think so, he’s as vulnerable as they come and deservedly so.

illegal immigration

It's NOT illegal immigration, it's criminal trespass. And no, no one believe anything was going to be done about border security.

Nothings been done the last six years... and the laws have been there all along - waiting to be enforced.

Why would it be different this time?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

This is how we got our losses in 06, BTW--any candidate that campaigned on an anti-amnesty position got the RNC funding a primary competition, then no cash for the general. Hayworth of AZ lost like this. Rove wanted the pro-amnesty Cannon. Hayworth was already drained going into the general election, and got no money from the GOP.

Absolutely right except for my Senator Kyl. He lied through his sh*t stained teeth about securing the border, but, since the people who matter behind the scenes knew he was lying, he wasn't cut off. The honest ones got the knife.

if I would help him push immigration reform through Congress

Using closed-door meetings, no committee hearings, an absurdly rushed schedule and an unprecedented manipulation of Senate rules to silence disagreement.

our guiding principle that securing our nation’s borders must be our first priority

Caught in a lie. Bush had a Republican congress for six years, and he and Lindsay did absolutely nothing. Only after Democrats take control, they claim that it is impossible to secure the border unless Kennedy is given amnesty and citizenship for the illegals.

Our plan... provided over $4.4 billion in funding to secure our nation’s borders

Another lie. Their grand bargain did NOT include the $4.4 billion. That was added later to try to mollify opponents. Under the bill, the $4.4 billion was not restricted to securing the borders, but could just as legally be used to process Z-visa amnesties.

The legislation first and foremost secured our border

"Legislation" doesn't secure the border. Things like constructing a fence and patrolling and enforcing the border do.

If the status quo and broken immigration system continue to go unaddressed, then the American people lost.

Your disastrous legislation would have made a bad situation much worse. If you cared even a fraction for the American people as you do for the citizens of Mexico and the open-borders business lobby, you and Bush would have made an effort years ago to secure the border and get these new "tools" without which you claim you can't enforce our laws against any of the employers who use illegal foreign labor.

Build a wall and enforce the law you ignorant, treasonous, duplicitous, son of a b*tch.

That’s all you have to do.

It’s so simple even a United States senator can do it.

"“I worry that local and state governments will begin to act more aggressively and create a hodge-podge of laws.”"

Who cares. Hopefully, they'll be enforcing the immigration laws that the Feds refuse to.

Time for Lindsey Graham to leave the Senate and I think all of us should help insure that happens. We need a good candidate that everyone can get behind and make sure he loses.

We will be up against the WH in the primary and they will dry up funds in the general if it is like 2004 and 2006 but we can do it. Oklahomans did it for Dr. Tom in 2004 when they dried up his funds and we can do it now for whoever runs against Graham.

If he told me the sky was blue I would have to go check.

Grahamnesty BS and CMA(cover my A$$) comments. He has learned well from his mentor, Sen. John McInsane. You notice, outside of one-on-one interviews, McCain is seldom seen without Grahamnesty by his side or in the background. In other words, no other GOP Senator gets as much face time with McCain as Graham. Hopefully, South Carolina can find someone strong and not under imminent indictment for narcotics trafficking to campaign for and win the GOP senatorial nomination against Graham next year.

Of course, if you’re a McCain fan, my comments are a plus for Graham.

Senator Gramnesty:

You are a disgrace to your state and to the Senate.
Enjoy your one and only term as senator as I’m sure the voters are going to remember how you voted on this Shamnesty Bill.
Good riddance you RINO POS.

This is how Bush got a Congress "he could work with" and to heck with the WOT.

Yep. The Bush admin's #1 priority was securing a 'Rat majority to help him pass this amnesty. ....far above any WOT considerations. And they'll keep trying, of that we can be sure. I seems every move Bush makes is calculated to pave the way for President Hillary.

I have never donated to an out of state politician but if the good people of SC can field a viable primary opponent I will make an exception.

I, too, am an outsider who would be happy to chip in.

“The American people have a historically low view of congress” YA THINK!!! Hey Graham what happened to “ the American people voted us in because they are ready for change” I think the only thing that needs changing is your diapers because all of you including the turncoats in the GOP are full of sh##. Hillary wants to take out her broom and sweeep the Whitehouse. My hope is she will do just that! ON THE JANITORIAL STAFF!!!! REMEMBER “we the people”

Sounds like a plan. Let's do it.

You just said that you agree that the border must be secured and there is $4.4 billion to do it, and if we don’t, the population might just riot.

He is lying in his letter still, there was a clause in the so called 4.4 billion that said it could be used wherever needed in the bill.
