“That’s not practical,” he said. “No Democratic Congress is going to give the Republican Party everything we want on border security until you tell them what happens to the 11 million.”
Does Little Lindsey not realize that the REPUBLICANS control the Congress?? Or is he anticipating (or hoping) that the democrats will take one house or both in 2016??
scumbags keep saying 11 MILLION for years, when millions have arrived yearly. The number is 50 MILLION.
“No Democratic Congress”
Who’s in charge dimwit?
The illegals already have a path to citizenship.
For most the path heads south, crosses the Rio Grande and ends up back in the country of their birth.
“””...I don’t like the idea of millions of people living in America for the rest of their lives being the hired help. That’s not who we are.”””
I can’t even describe my reaction to this fetid POS’s reasoning.
It’s worse than pandering. It’s a declaration that all three illegals are inferior to the rest of us and the only way to make them or equal is to give them citizenship.
This queen is the epitome of the insulting and demeaning attitude of lifelong bureaucrat.
You can a lot of things about Lindsey...
Most things about him I would agree with...and more...
One thing he is, that's he is consummate DC insider and knows how things work...
He's complete right about this statement...
My thinking has "evolved" on illegal immigration, that is the ultimate solution is going to be a bipartisan compromise...whether I like it or not.
We have millions of illegals here and at some point they need to be dealt with in a humane and straightforward way...
Rounding up millions of people who are in the shadows already isn't remotely possible
Really put on thumbscrews on those who hire illegals with severe penalties...
Actually have an E-verify system that works
Many will self deport...
Sorry, Lindsey, but we’ve been there and done that before. Right now Obama has this country in a deep depression and it is a gross insult for you to be promoting another amnesty for illegal aliens. Start by reporting the one in the White House, and then we can talk. Deal?
Why would Graham run? He’s not offering anything different than Bush III, Bush Shadow Rubio, or most of the others.
I have a great affection for many illegal aliens. They are my friends.
But it is fundamental that they have forfeited any chance of ever getting US citizenship. That would not be fair to the 100’s of millions of foreigners who want to come here legally.
And by the way, many (most?) do not want US citizenship.
Dear Lindsly,
Here I’ll fix it for you to understand.
“No Democratic Congress is going to give the Republican Party anything we want...”
Hey Grahamnesty, if the GOP can only win by becoming the ‘rats, then why shouldn’t we just vote for the ‘rats? Azzhole.
Kinsey Garbage, read the current LEGAL IMMIGRATION LAW. It has a path to CITIZENSHIP!
Grahmnasty knows he will never be elected he is obviously in the race as spoiler.
He could suddenly switch to democrat he does posses all the deviancy liberals cherish, seriously I would not put it past him or McCain to have his back in doing so.
Little Lindsey WANTS TO SECURE HIS FUTURE AS A $1,500,000 YR. PAID LOBBYIST.
I GUARANTEE IT.
“That’s not practical,” he said. “No Democratic Congress is going to give the Republican Party everything we want on border security until you tell them what happens to the 11 million.”
That is REALLY WEIRD. Is he saying that he’s running as a Democrat, and wants a Democrat Congress to work with? Or is he saying that he’s running as a Republican, but prefers a Democrat Congress to work with?
8 years ago, with Pelosi/Reid controlling Congress, maybe what he said would have made sense. Does he even know which party is in charge of the House and Senate now? (I know...but Republicans are still in charge)
This remark sounds PSYCHOTIC.
Wonder why he didn’t give us this information when he was running for reelection?
Dear Linda,
Go away.
Quite sincerely, ‘Pod
This is the one issue on which the R party earns its nickname the “stupid party”. If you peaked at 44% of the Hispanic vote among legal Hispanics—most voters a legal, Lindsay—what are you going to get in votes when you add more of those voters to the system? You will get a majority who vote Dems, only then you will have a larger number of Dems and the new voters are much more likely to vote Dem. Can’t this guy do basic math? Legalization of the illegals is a losing plan for R’s and won’t benefit Lindsay unless he is planning to switch to the D party.
Let’s rewrite Lindsay’s statement from the perspective of the D party. We D’s got a minimum of 66% of Hispanic votes in prior elections. If we can legalize the illegals, they are the most Dem-leaning of all Hispanics and although we will lose some votes from our current citizens, the boon in new D voters will drown out any opposition. This is big—we D’s win big for as far as the eye can see! No more election worries. Then we can concentrate 100% of our attention on how to get more loot!
