Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Sunday said a deal that combines $5 billion for President Trumps border wall with an extension of legal status for Dreamers and people fleeing conflict or natural disasters back home could save the day in the Senate and reopen the government.
We need to start talking again, the Republican told CNNs State of the Union. To my Democratic friends: There will never be a deal without wall funding.
He said in return, immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children should be eligible for legal status and authorization to work for three years under a bill hes put forward with Sen. Richard Durbin, Illinois Democrat.

You nailed it, FRiend.
Having thought about this for a while, I simply say, No.
No deal with the Democrats for wall funding at all. They must either accept responsibility for protecting the country from foreign invasion or be willing to see their beloved programs (i.e. SNAP, etc.) shut down PERMANENTLY. Either way, the conservative agenda WINS.
The 1/4 of the government that has been shut down may not need to exist.
The agreement must insist that the wall is built, actually built, before any other bargained for deals are implemented.
If this happens, then the new bill with wall funding goes back to the House.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!BS....
This ‘go-around’ they have had 2 years to come up with something and the day before the LIBS take over the house, ‘they’ come up with this.
I realize it is a redundant question BUT do they really think ‘WE’ are this stupid?
I mean stupid in the sense that do they think they can just push this through with no one noticing?
Linda Grahamnesty returns!
What does he NOT understand about ILLEGAL? Sheesh! He sounds like a full blown libturd with this crap.
I say NO also we were PROMISED a wall with Reagans amnesty SO the Dems were ALREADY given their amnesty and WE were given the middle finger they cashed in ontneir amnesty already and we are STILL OWED our wall!!!!
ontier= on their
They would have to apply and that is the problem — they are NOT applying. They are fence-jumping.
Graham’s idea might work with those coming in LEGALLY, but those coming in ILLEGALLY will bypass it.
Sit down, Lindsay!
BINGO.
Former SR AIRMAN, Triple Amputee, Brian Kolfage and family have been threaten with death by liberals and snowflakes. FNC interview. Twitter blocked him for 3 days.
I’ve managed 3 donations, what a old lady of 70 can afford.
63 Million Trump voters,
Clean fund the wall bill or nothing.
Vote for this now and we will build the wall later....
Where have we heard this before?
Entire country becomes California ! Grahamnesty is pure Evil . And hates his country ,
Look. As it stands right now, illegals have EVERY RIGHT they want, and are trashing all public systems ALREADY. Schools, jails, hospitals, etc.
You guys with the. No deals! Walls or nothing! Sound great but some of us are already living in sanctuary cities with no borders. We dont have the luxury of yelling pure Utopia or bust!
Where is this 1960s America with borders where illegals cant get every service and welfare and charity we have? Where is this pure America where there is ANY TROUBLE living here as an illegal? Even our local food pantry charities feed mostly people who shouldnt be here. BUT THEY ARE HERE. Making legal American children. Its been a few generations.
At this point there is NOTHING LOST if we trade anything at all including amnesty (cant believe Im saying that because its so wrong) for TRUE BORDER SECURITY INCLUDING WALL AND INCLUDING ENFORCING VISA LIMITS.
Seriously, people, look how far it has already gone and stop insisting on absolute purity. Lets get the borders and visa ignoring CLOSED OFF. Expired travel visas let as many illegals in as the nonexistent border. If the wall is built, coyotes will just charter planes in and bring in tourists from Mexico and Central America by the planeload. No one here checks for expired visas.
As GranMa Spokeshave would say:
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride.
NOT.THIS.SH*T.AGAIN! I abhor this government!
NO benefits for illegals.
Harsh penalties for employers who KNOWINGLY or who don't make an effort to verify legal status of employees.
Do these two things and we won't need a wall.
I want you in the senate
Wall first or pound sand.
A lot truth to that . I think our State Dept and DHS are run by Cheap labor folks who have not clean house .
Why is the State dept still funding these Amnesty / Illegal groups ?
Why is the State dept still handing out Visas to people with families member expired in the US ?
Why does Trump hire more DC insiders like Pompeo ? He done nothing to clean house and cut off funds He just gave 10 billion to the Invaders countries ! Letting in Millions of Daca and asylum invaders to vote will destroy this country in one big sweep in 2020 .
Many Red states will become California !
After what we saw in Orange County, California I have to ask, do you even have to actually vote anymore since it appears it is now legal to have someone vote for you?
