The White House appears to have banned Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) from participating in immigration reform negotiations due to recent strain between Graham and the Trump administration, as well as other Republicans in the House and Senate.
Tensions first rose when Graham advocated for an immigration deal that failed to address President Donald Trumps main concerns regarding chain migration and border security alongside Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). The situation worsened when the Republican senator criticized chief of staff John Kelly as never having closed a deal before, politically and top policy adviser Stephen Miller as being an outlier on immigration, according to The Washington Examiner.
It is almost appalling to me that you have a senator that isnt stepping up, doing the right thing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in an interview with Fox News on Monday. Look, we want to make a deal on DACA. We want to do these things. And the fact that hes not part of the conversation to help move that ball forward and is instead attacking individual members of the presidents staff, I think, shows...theyre going to blame people for their own failures. And I think its time that they stop playing political games, come to the table, get serious and do their jobs.

Linda finds her balls and then gets whacked for. lol.....
Linda thinks he is somehow co-president.
Wrong again, Linda! Because of your behavior, you don’t get to sit at the grown-ups’ table anymore. Go sit at the kiddie table where you belong.
Filling the shoes that John McCain is too ill to fill.
Is kicking Graham out part of the war on women?
Impossible! One cannot find that which does not exist :)
WTF is wrong with Graham. Does he really think the people of SC want 2 million illegals LEGALIZED? And no border security and unhindered chain migration?
Who the Hell does he think he is?
Will someone please tell me how this squish ever got into the negotiating process?
Linda is trying to make the love of his life happy in his dying moments.
According to Democrats, Republicans are hopelessly divided and going to lose.
ijr.com looks like a radical lefty blog.
Lower the BOOM!
linda could care less what we South Carolinians want.
Due to open primaries in this state and RATS crossing over to vote for linda, she has a lifetime job. And she knows it. And acts like it.
Ha, Ha, I think I read that Linda suggested that Cotton not be included in future discussions.
Karma for Linda Grahmnasty.
We’re trying Jim. Honestly. Our main problem I outlined in #15. Until the legislators here in South Carolina grow some cojones and do away with open primaries, we’ll be stuck with linda.
Gridlock —> Poof! on executive DACA CACA.
Little Lindsey Graham got her panties all bunched up; she thought she had Trump conned but her grifting was a total miss. All that obsequiousness, flattery and brown nosing came to naught!
McCain I feel certain is pulling Grahams strings. He is doing what McCain tells him to do. When will AZ governor appoint a replacement for McCain since he is worthless as teats on a boar hog.
