Graham did vote Yea in the 2007 Dream Act Cloture vote and has been quite in the middle CIR last year he voted no because he did not have the backing of McCain who did not vote fot the bill. However, his record on this forum and some past data suggest that he is willing to work with CIR... He was also a Cosponsor in 2006 he should be one of our major targets. Sessions should be taken seriously since he is a big part of judiciary committee now and for CIR we must be willing to give in something if not don't expect anything anytime soon. Border Security, Crack down on employment, must be a part of any CIR bill in order to pass any immigration bill. Its time we start thinking realistically.

"Critics of the Senate's work say the plans in the current bill would constitute another amnesty.

But Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., strongly disagreed.

"What is amnesty? It's what you want it to be," said Graham, who pointed to the many requirements illegal immigrants would have to meet before getting green cards.

Early in the day committee Chairman Arlen Specter offered what he said was a compromise between the McCain-Kennedy legislation and a bill authored by Kyl and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

en. Barbara Boxer, who has supported an agriculture guest-worker bill, issued a statement after the vote.

"I commend the Judiciary Committee for working in a truly bipartisan way to fashion a bill which improves border security, meets the needs of our employers, and respects hardworking immigrants, without whom our economy would suffer," said Boxer, D-Calif."
