Graham has shown in the past 2 years to be unreliable just like John McCain when it comes to immigration reform.
Quote:
McCain said he won’t rejoin the talks until Congress approves a 10-point border security plan, which he and Kyl introduced last year, and the governors of the states adjoining Mexico certify their borders as secure.
“The smart move for the country and the administration would be, take McCain-Kyl and make it law,” Graham said. “Let everybody know we are putting resources in the border and we’re going to fix it. And then move on to the other parts.”
“It would be a real enhancement of border security that will make it easier for those who want comprehensive reform to talk about it,” Graham added.
Schumer, however, wouldn’t commit to that strategy.

All the republicans in the senate are now for the border security first plan.
