Graham May Be Working With New York Dem on Immigration Bill
According to the Baltimore Sun, the Obama administration has already begun laying the groundwork to accomplish something the Bush administration could not, sweeping immigration “reform.” The president allegedly wants a bill to create a pathway for citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegals across the country. New York Senator Schmuck Schumer (D) has already started working on a bill and according to his office has enlisted the help of Mr. Grahamnesty himself.
An immigration bill was introduced in the House earlier in the month and Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat who chairs a subcommittee on immigration, is heading the effort to cobble together a coalition in the Senate.
Bipartisan support is possible. Schumer’s office said he is working with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to develop a bill and wants Graham to sign on as a co-sponsor. Graham’s office did not return calls for comment.
So like the Bush immigration bill and his support for Cap and Trade, will Senator Graham again bend over us folks in South Carolina and give it to us up the wazoo? You’d think with South Carolina counties suffering from unemployment rates in excess of 20% the last thing Graham would want to do is flood the market even more with additional job seekers. Then again, Graham is usually more concerned with Beltway politics than the people he’s been elected to represent so I guess it’s not that crazy of a thought.
