Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship. https://t.co/kCa0ko7P76— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 30, 2018

The United States is one of two developed countries in the world who grant citizenship based on location of birth.

This policy is a magnet for illegal immigration, out of the mainstream of the developed world, and needs to come to an end.— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 30, 2018

In addition, I plan to introduce legislation along the same lines as the proposed executive order from President @realDonaldTrump.— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 30, 2018

McStain's departure was a blessing in many ways, not the least of which is the re-ignited Lindsey Graham.

He is expecting to take over the Judiciary Committee when Grassley steps down from that chore, but perhaps he has his sights set on a majority leader position in the future? The new Lindsey would be a great asset in that position.

Happy to see his early support for the President's EO and the clear sign that he understands that legislative action is the best way to make it stick.

“Was he truly controlled by McCain?”

More likely that he and Ace McCain were controlled by the same handler(s), who also control Chief “Justice” Roberts, the Fraud Obama family, and BJ’s wife.

Trump should definitely not issue an EO prohibiting birthright citizenship.

He should issue an EO enforcing the 14th Amendment, which outlaws birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.

He has to run for re-election in the same year as Trump.

He can’t run against Trump and he knows it.

Graham is still a Cheap Labor Express stooge.

The change in Lindsey Graham is just weird. But I’m enjoying it.

It's like he's another person. One really has to wonder what McStain had on him to make him like he was. I hope Graham stays the way. We need the fighters.

I agree he may be blowing with the wind, and if he says and does what we need and what is right (instead of publicly coming out and opposing it) I can live with that!

As PDJT says, one thing the Dems do well is stick together. We attack people on our own team if they are not pure enough for us, even when they are saying or doing something that we really want. Not a good way to end up with what we want.

I would love to see this “birthright” crap over turned, but it is tied to the 14th amendment so it would have to have 2/3 House and Senate votes...

It was a misinterpretation of the amendment all along and as proof the rest of the sections are clearly worded to apply to the abolition of slavery, not as an open door in perpetuity to any woman who can sneak their way across the border or on to the beach. The Supremes need to just rule on that, the end.

THIS is the Lindsay Graham from the Clinton impeachment days. He was FANTASTIC then! He went liberal and weird with McCain. McCain dies and we have Lindsay back again! Something VERY funky went on with the McCain power holding over him.

I still suspect Graham is auditioning for the AG opening, which will likely occur shortly after the election.

I'm on the verge of believing that L.G. is edging towards patriotism and Constitutionalism...

Thank you, President Donald Trump...The horses head under the blankets always works...
