Lindsay Graham and George W Bush are trying.

W called Senators on Kav’s behalf. He may have called Flake.
That might have helped.

That may be his priority in the Senate, but will he actually be dealing with illegal immigration issues on the Senate Judiciary Committee?

I don’t think that’s his number 1 priority today. I’ll probably be back to thinking he’s a limp-wrist by Monday, but I’m liking it right now.

One of the big Dems’ mistakes was in making this about the GOP and conservatism. All along, they’ve been targeting Trump, with varying degrees of success. The NeverTrumpers have been letting them get away with it because it was about Trump. But now it’s not about Trump. It’s about conservative principle. That is something that even most of the NeverTrumpers won’t stomach. The Dems did what I would have thought impossible a few weeks ago. They united the GOP.

If the GOP can pull this off in Nov, I suspect that Feinstein will be an outcast in the Dem Party, if she wins re-election. Schumer will be toast. Pelosi, too, I think.

McCain was a bad influence on him. Maybe since he doesn’t have McCain to talk to, he’s drifting back to reality. One can hope.

To: Democrats hate too much

It’s wise to be cautious, and remain alert, but at this point I’ll take whatever help Senator Graham is willing to give President Trump get his nominees through, and his policies advanced.

He has been backing amnesty since he got to the Senate 2006, 2007, 2013 and he even voted for Evan McMullin to try to prevent President Trump from securing the border and restoring the rule of law.

Unless he publicly repudiates amnesty he is not on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.

I think the plan is to get amnesty in little bites at a time since they know going for a big one would be dangerous.
Just as Obama had started doing, DACA first, then their parents, then the rest of their families and keep expanding eligibility until everyone is covered.

ALL illegal aliens should be removed and the rule of law restored.

If the GOP can pull this off in Nov....

The Democratic Senators actions yesterday and today give the GOP a chance. It's over-reach. Could we get a country even more divided, with some dems in middle-America seats losing their US Senate seats?

It is imperative to put up a wall to stop any further entry’s but it will take decades to remove as many as 30 million. We are in Big Trouble after years of Treason.
