Some members of the Republican Party do "get it" on immigration, says Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, but President Barack Obama isn't helping matters when he keeps acting alone.
Graham, appearing Sunday on "Face the Nation" with fellow Republican Sen. John McCain, said he doesn't see how the GOP can win the presidency in 2016 if it adopts self-deportation as its solution.
"Ted Cruz embraces legalization without a path to citizenship," Graham said. "Things are changing on our side."
Asked by host Bob Schieffer how they feel being part of a body and a party that won't act on immigration reform, McCain said, "We'll just continue to fight.

Apart from amnesty, what is in”immigration reform” this time? I truly don’t know.
BTTT
Not correct.

Cr4uz supports letting them st5ay and has NEVER stated he would deport or support self-deport policies.
I challenge you to substantiate any claim to the contrary.
Even more “legal” immigration to drive the high tech Americans out of their jobs.
You’re quoting the NY Times. They are even bigger liars than Graham The article you link to has been discussed here on FR weeks ago and was thoroughly torn apart and debunked.
Cruz stated policy is to legalize those here now and seal the border...possibly allowing chain migration of family members.
He states he opposes "Amnesty" but then defines "amnesty" ONLY as allowing citizenship.
I Challenge you again, cite references that prove otherwise.
I know you cannot as none exist.
Yet for some reason you're contending that Cruz does not support "Amnesty". By that definition neither do McCain or Graham.
That sums it up. Thanks for posting.
Look up his legislative amendments online. It’s all there. Do your own homework.
The fact that you quote the NY Times as some sort of authority is enough to disqualify you from any serious discussion.
Do your homework thoroughly without resorting to the NY Times who are known liars.
Election’s over.
These two have stopped running to the Right and have reverted to their true RINO forms.
“I’m not sure that statement is true (Cruz supporting legalization without citizenship)”
Yea, it is, or at least was, true. It actually is kind of a middle ground in that it delays the demise of the Republican Party by an extra 10 to 20 years, as those people (hopefully) will not be voting. Of course their US-born kids will, as well as the “dreamers”. The Senate Bill basically killed-off the Republican Party in 5 to 10 years, by giving citizenship to everyone that is here already.
Hopefully Cruz is informed on this now...the problem is the DEMOGRAPHICS and nothing more, if we are to survive as a two-party state. Any “solution” that doesn’t address it means the end of the Republican Party.
They NEED TO GO HOME, and then apply to come here legally, and we’ll let in an amount that we can absorb, without ruining the country in the process.
And the facts are that Ted Cruz would legalize those now here illegally. You cannot source a single fact to the contrary.
Not one.
Graham is nuts
Your facts are BS and your source is BS.
You won’t get anywhere on this site with using the NY Times as a ‘fact’ reference. You also won’t get anywhere with using Graham’s statements before the press as ‘factual’.
Cease and desist your posts to me until you come back with the previous FR posts on this matter from months ago and the 5 legislative amendments that Ted Cruz submitted in the immigration reform debates.
McVain and Grahamnesty both support Obama relocating those Illegal Alien kids...no one should be fooled
Anything not 100% Deportation is Amnesty
The animation should get lots of play. It sums up what is wrong with the Republican party
So many are trying to put the Republican Party out of business, and they may yet succeed in doing so.
Here you go:
Ted Cruz, a Republican senatorial candidate from Texas, said Monday he thinks presidential candidate Mitt Romney should end President Barack Obama's deferred action policy, going beyond Romney's line that he doesn't need to because he'll fix the problem quickly through Congress.America's Voice reaction to the above:Asked by Telemundo whether Romney should reinstate deportations of young people granted deferred action, Cruz said, "I do."
If Cruz wanted to deport DREAMers, then it stands to reason that he wants to deport others. It sounds like he is for deporting as many immigrants as possible, and forbidding the few who get to stay from ever becoming citizens.
Who are the most dangerous people to the Republic:
(1) Republican primary voters in Red Hampshire
(2) Republican primary voters in SC
(3) NYC Democrats
(4) San Francisco Democrats
