Its not even December, and one Senate Republican is already undermining Donald Trumps plans in regards to the countrys broken immigration system.
Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham told Politico Wednesday that he is working with Senate Democrats to propose legislation guaranteeing young illegal immigrants the protections outlined in President Obamas wide-ranging executive actions on immigration.
Donald Trump promised throughout the election that he would repeal all of Obamas executive actions, which would leave the 740,000 Dreamers legally living in the America through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program open to deportation.
The worst outcome is to repeal the legal status that these kids have, Graham argued. Whether you agree with them having it or not, theyve come out of the shadows.

Trump should disclose this guy’s cell number again to the public, and the address of his butt boy’a house
No, he is not “some kind” of faggot.
He is openly gay in DC, and Dems obviously have photos, videos of him “in the act.”
Lindsey Graham is a feckless, duplicitous, treacherous, double dealing back stabbing corksucker.
Not surprised Lindsey is trying to do a bill for illegal children — especially the young boys.
Just when I think McCain and Graham couldn’t be any more dumb...
Time after time after time...
Graham needs to go.
Arizona can’t find a better Republican to represent them?
Y I K E S !
Linda has eaten too much pizza.
There are such better ways of finding yourself to be a news item. Order pizza? Be caught with your pants down? Smash your phone with a hammer? What a talking jackass.

Graham's campaign collects bundle from lobbyists: Senator favors positions of lobbyist-fundraisers
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham raised more money from lobbyists ahead of the 2012 election than any other member of Congress save one an impressive feat considering he wasnt on the ballot.
Roughly 10 percent of Grahams $2.2 million haul, about $223,000, came from lobbyists acting as bundlers, a higher percentage than any other member. Bundlers raise money from friends and associates and deliver the checks in a bundle.

Grahams bundlers include organizations and lobbyists whose positions Graham has supported. Among them are an energy giant, the film industrys main trade association and a former U.S. ambassador who represents clients that would benefit from the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

According to FEC filings, Grahams No. 1 lobbyist-bundler during the past two years was SCANA Corp., a South Carolina-based energy company that ranked among Fortunes 500 largest as recently as 2011.
The corporation was credited with bundling $84,650 for Graham and its political action committee gave him an additional $9,000. During the same period, SCANA Corp., with Grahams help, was angling for permission to build new nuclear power generators.

Graham has likewise supported the interests of many of lobbyist David Wilkins clients.
Wilkins, the former South Carolina House speaker who served as the U.S. ambassador to Canada under President George W. Bush, ranked as Grahams second-largest lobbyist-bundler during the 2012 election cycle, credited with bringing in $61,500.
During the past two years, Wilkins clients included the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Alberta Energy, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan and Nexen Inc., an oil and gas company based in Alberta that was purchased in February by the Chinese.
All have interests in the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which Graham backs.
Repeal the 17th Amendment so we can dump this clown Grahamasty and the rest of these corrupt Senators.
Is Lindsey Graham so stupid that he doesn’t realize that Donald Trump would have to sign the legislation that counters his policy? WTF am I missing here?
FULG you back-stabbing POS.
That’s called ‘Doxing’. It may be a crime, at least when done by Republicans. The people doxing the Electoral College members don’t seem to be suffering very much.
I’m in a conundrum, I can’t decide if he is a jackass or an idiot. A jackass would know what he is doing and do it anyway out of spite or bullheadedness. An idiot wouldn’t have a clue what he was doing.
Maybe an idiot jackass?
Him and Juan always gotta fubar everything.
SMH.
Linseed like the young boy dreamers.
South Carolina might be a good place for the Trump admin to start enhanced enforcement of immigration law.
This is a big one. The DREAMers could’ve been legalized years ago, but they were kept as the bait for “comprehensive immigration reform”, i.e. total amnesty. Then Obama went extralegal and attempted to legalize them, but via EO, which means nothing. But now they’re facing down Trump and all of their names are in the database, thus instead of being the most likely to stay, now they’ll be the first to go. Hopefully there are 41 Senators who will stop this.
