Lindsey Graham: As President, ‘I Would Veto Any Bill’ Without Path To Citizenship
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - May 8, 2015 Likely Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham predicted Thursday that the GOP will lose the 2016 presidential election unless they win over Hispanic voters by supporting a “long, hard path to citizenship.”
“If I were president of the United States, I would veto any bill that did not have a pathway to citizenship,” the South Carolina Republican told USA Today. “You would have a long, hard path to citizenship … but I want to create that path because I don’t like the idea of millions of people living in America for the rest of their lives being the hired help. That’s not who we are.”
Mr. Graham argued that his party risks losing the presidency with its current hard line on immigration.
“We’ll lose,” he told USA Today. “I mean, we’ve got a big hole we’ve dug with Hispanics. We’ve gone from 44 percent of the Hispanic vote (in the 2004 presidential election) to 27 percent (in 2012). You’ll never convince me … it’s not because of the immigration debate.”

Well, Linda, I guess it's a good thing for our country that you will NEVER be our president.
Lindsey Gramnesty. Consistently an idiot.
Welfare for life doesn't seem like such a hard road, compared to their own countries. And, they MUST learn English, like we will deport them if they don't. They think we are that stupid.
is this the new citizenship process?
lie at the airport when coming to the US?
How did South Carolina’s citizens elected a great Senator and then this moron.
Dude, you can suck up to illegals till you’re blue but they’ll NEVER vote for you. Ever.
Don’t worry Lindsey, you won’t be president, ever.
“If I were president of the United States, I would veto any bill that did not have a pathway to citizenship”
Since I am a voter of the United States, I wouldn’t and can’t vote for any candidate that advocates a pathway to citizenship.
Lindsey need to team up with Hillary - it will sound like two girls on the ticket and his veto threats and her “I’ll take what Obama has done even further” promise makes them perfect for each other.
