Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, rolls out new legislation that he says is “designed to stop the humanitarian crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border.

GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham a longtime advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, on Wednesday rolled out new legislation that he says is “designed to stop the humanitarian crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border.“A wall will not fix this,” Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said at a news conference.

Graham’s proposal would change current law by prohibiting asylum claims at the U.S. border and requiring asylum applicants from Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to apply for asylum in their respective countries. His legislation would require unaccompanied minors from Central America to be returned to their home countries of origin.“If we do these four things, then the incentive created by our laws will cease to exist, and this humanitarian crisis will begin to repair itself,” Graham said.

Details on the administration’s plan are sparse, but their plan focuses on border security and legal immigration, according to senators who were in the room for the briefing.

Most American citizens already know the Dems won't pass it unless it offers citizenship for Dreamers!! American citizens are not at the top of the Dems list!!

So trump wants immigrants to come in to take the high-paying jobs and doesn’t want landscapers. Makes sense.

Good for Lindsey Graham!! One of a few Republicans willing to show courage and stand for good sense.

ImmigrationReform now

GO LINDSEY GRAHAM!!

Here's an idea, You know those cattle gates at security in the airports. Going back and forth....Get those gates set up in Honduras to the border. By Golly that'll slow em up.

I agree with this!

Golly, I wonder where the President stands on this.

Parents are responsible for their children. When you put your children at risk by crossing a border illegally that's a risk you take. Of course they want a better life. My brother in law got a green card. A job, next citizenship.

Excellent plan, implement it ASAP !

He is right

The only crisis at the border is the policies you and the republicans have put in place.

He’s a humanitarian crisis.

Well that sounds reasonable. But will you put it in place?

. Fuck-off LindseyGrahamSC, you RancidLittleRussianPuppet. PUTINtrump2020 .

Old Lindsey might have been for immigration reform in the past but that was probably before he gave what passed as his testicles to Trump. I am sure now that whatever he rolls out will be what Daddy wants. Slap me harder Daddy.

Lindsey has his head so far up Trump’s ass he can’t see two feet in front of his face much less the border.

The humanitarian crisis at the border is created and manufactured by GOPs..FACT

LindseyGrahamSC is a joke. Even he knows it. LindseyGraham LindseyGrahamResigns LindseyGrahamMustGo LindseyGrahamObstructed LindseyGrahamResign

LindseyGrahamResign -- Trump's patsy. A once honorable man has fallen in to the Trump abyss. (at least I thought he was honorable, maybe I was mistaken).

Lindsey Graham resigning immediately would (help) stop the constitutional crisis we have in Washington.

The fact that Lindsey Graham is still involved in government decisions is a humanitarian crisis.

King of flip flop. This guy is a complete disgrace. John McCain is rolling over in his grave...

America is in danger with the GOP Republican Party and 45’s leadership. America/Democracy/Our Constitution/The Rule of Law, are the frogs 🐸 in the pot of water on top of the stove while GOP and 45 slowly increases the heat. God forgive and help us amen 🙏🏿

What about your brown-nosing crisis?

😂😅😅😂
