Washington (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), when talking to Capitol reporters, said that Fox News makes it difficult for him to garner support for his stance on immigration reform, which includes a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens already living in the country.
The senator, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said that Fox News using the word amnesty during the 24-hour news cycle has hindered support for his position on reforming the U.S. immigration system, which lawmakers on both sides say is broken.
In todays world, its very hard for bi-partisan agreements to be formed, said Graham, because those who dont like what youre trying to do are able to generate a lot of pushback early on, so this 24 hour news cycle makes it very, very difficult, but not impossible.
Lets talk about immigration. When Fox News is saying amnesty 24 hours a day, it makes it harder for me to get people on my side, he added. When the left, through MSNBC, talks about the tax cuts being a sell-out and going back to Bush policies, it makes harder for our Democratic colleagues.
My statement to my colleagues is even though people are loud, that doesnt mean theyre the majority, Graham continued. So if youre doing things that make sense, just trust the country to figure it out, but in this environment of constant media scrutiny it is very difficult. I dont know how you would have written the Constitution in this environment.

Worthless RINO traitor!!!
He’s always been good with the Democrat talking points.
Don’t look at me, not only did I oppose Graham in the primary, but in the general election, as well.
John Insane has taught him well.

Graham is a joke.
One channel out of 200 doesn’t do their bidding and they throw an ape fit

Lindsay, you dumbass, a "pathway to citizenship" IS "amnesty". You are proposing to sell American citizenship at a discount!
Look, Lindsay, you guys in the Congress created the "illegal alien" problem. We're asking you to fix it. Yeah, it's "hard". But we're not going to let you take the easy way out.
Asshole.
“When Fox News is saying amnesty 24 hours a day, it makes it harder for me to get people on my side...”
It’s a lot easier when nobody knows what I’m doing and I can pass things in the middle of the night.
He’s a sissy and a traitor. Amnesty and immigration reform are DEAD.
Because that’s what it is Lindsay Dumbass Graham - amnesty!
Graham must love the MSNBC and CNN crews calling the illegal aliens "undocumented immigrants" and those who advocate protecting our borders "bigots" and "racists." Essentially, the fruitcake and his leftist comrades despise the truth being told on a regular basis.
“Being a powerful Senator would be so much fun if it weren’t for those pesky citizens - why don’t they just all shut up and let me do whatever I want?”
Lindsey needs to visit his doctor.
