Lindsey Graham to introduce immigration package, toughen asylum standards
The Washington Times ^ | April 14, 2019 | Alex Swoyer

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday he will be introducing a proposal to change U.S. asylum laws, saying the only way to stop the crisis at the southern border is to toughen up asylum standards.

The South Carolina Republican said a wall and military personnel at the border helps control the flow of migrants coming from Central American countries, but won’t completely stop the problem.

“We have to change these laws so people stop coming,” Mr. Graham told Fox News during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“Doing what we are doing is not working…the crisis has to come to an end,” he added.

That is a fact .

There is amnesty and a huge H1 Visa scam buried in this Trojan horse bill .

Grahamnesty never rests for his Owners the Cheap labor Express like the
Koch Bros .

Sadly , the AP reported Javanka was busy cooking up a H1 Visas give away to their Wall Street / Koch Bros pals .

“Of course being a never trump anti Republican you will always dispense sour grapes”

Gee bert

Of all the bad things I’ve thought of you over the years, until now I never thought of you as just plain stupid.

Because those who are not know I am the very first public supporter of Trump on this site.

The Dems are going to pretend to cooperate because if Trump goes to court and wins that makes it permanent.

The Democrats look so bad on this crises. Do they think they have support ? They are going to lose the house too in 2020. Trump is just kicking their ass on this crisis.

The Dems are going to have to concede "something".....like it or not.

Couldn't agree more. The Rats are headed for a train wreck in 2020 and they know it, in my view.

If ALL incentives are stopped and rule of law adhered to, they will not come. How is this so hard to understand?

I hope you’re right.

But as long as more than half of the voters are women prone to let their “feelings” prevail over logic and common sense, this country will never again have responsible government.

No offense to conservative women, of course.

Good idea, but a waste of time. The House will never pass something that limits potential future Rat voters.

IIRC, Obama stated MANY times during his “reign” that something had to be done....and that piecemeal would be a path.

Since Congress won’t do anything, why not let the illegal immigrants self select a sanctuary state or city.They much stay in the selected state until their court date or be deported.

Too little, too late. If they had any sack they’d go after Hart-Cellar.

“In addition, how about eliminating welfare benefits?”

That’s the key right there.

I suspect Linda knows it would never pass the Senate and for sure never the House.
The time to have done this was 2016 and he knows it.

Lindsey on the right path but will never pass the House. Therefore dead but worth a try. If Trump start sending the illegals to sanctuary cities it will help.

As I wrote in the other thread, Lindsey didn’t bother to do this when republicans held both houses. The game is to fool us.
