Graham asks for bipartisan help on jobs (RINO calls for GOP, Obama to pass amnesty legislation)
The Charlotte Observer ^ | 2011-08-12 | April Bethea

ROCK HILL, SC - U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said the recent downgrade of the country's bond rating by Standard & Poor's is a "wake-up call" for national leaders to keep looking for ways to boost the economy and spur job creation.

The S.C. Republican also said it's important for bipartisan talks on those issues, saying neither political party alone can solve the major problems facing the country.

Graham spoke Thursday before more than 50 attendees of a luncheon held by the Rock Hill Rotary club. His talk focused primarily on the economy, military efforts in the Middle East and immigration reform.

(snip)

He addressed immigration, calling again for the country to secure its border with Mexico. Otherwise, he said, terrorists might find a way to take advantage of the situation.

He said the current undocumented immigrants should be given a chance to become legal, including paying a fine, learning English and "going to the back of the line" if they want the chance to become citizens.

UPCHUCK...when is this idiot up for replacement?

GET RID OF OBAMA, KEEP FREE REPUBLIC OPERATING

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents you put in a FR Change Jar, but at the end of the month you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly, or you will moan and grown and go into withdrawal when it is down, because of broken parts, or over loaded servers during crisis events. And every day 0 remains in office is a crisis.

Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals

Most of the GOP Presidential hopefuls have been avoiding this hot button issue. I frankly don’t trust any of them to do what is necessary to protect US borders. The temptation of corporate money and the illusion that the GOP can capture Latino votes by turning a blind eye to the illegals, is just too alluring to those seeking enough funds to be competitive in the primaries.
