In a 15-minute exchange with reporters in the Capitol, Graham said immigration has no chance of passing, but that bringing it up this year would badly hamper lawmakers’ and the country’s ability to deal with the issue – a signature priority for Graham – in the future. “Do you think that I would sit on the sidelines and see immigration brought up like this and not object?” he said. “I am not going to be a party to bringing up immigration...this year in a way that will destroy that issue.” “I am not going to have my fingerprints on a political maneuver that could wind up breaking this country apart,” Graham added. “Immigration brought up this year is nothing but a political stunt. It will divide the country.” |
So if it has no chance of passing this year, what makes him think it has a chance of passing next year? He is clearly looking out for McCain on this one.

If anything, this will make sure that Democratic legislative efforts will completely tank.
Everyone else complaining about waiting until the lame-duck session: Why are you complaining?? I'm sure i'm not the only one waiting for CIR or the Dream Act to pass; heck, I've been living like this for 18 years. I've put my life on hold for a couple of years now as I'm sure many of you have, but jumping to the point of calling Graham gay or bashing Climate Change just because it doesn't fit our agenda. In the eyes of the American people, we're of little to no importance, i've come to terms with that...with that said, I understand that CIR isn't the top priority of this nation; so I honestly see why immigration reform is on the backburner. If you don't want to wait, fine, walk away...if you want to wait then sit tight. It's bound to happen one way or another, perhaps not a sweeping bill like the '85 amnesty, but something will pass. Getting all ill-tempered about it isn't going to do us any good. |
