Graham: Don’t Vote for Me if You Don’t Support the DREAM Act


Lindsey Graham is breaking from the Republican party in order to support an issue close to his heart — but the issue isn’t likely to gain him many conservative votes. That might be okay, though, because he says he doesn’t want them, anyway.

“I have come to believe that comprehensive immigration reform, whether done in piecemeal fashion or done comprehensively, is absolutely essential for our national security. It’s absolutely essential for our economic viability and I want to stop the third wave [of illegal immigration] and never do this again. We have got to have a practical solution to the 11 million,” Graham said at a press conference today alongside Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). Both were members of the bipartisan Gang of Eight who drafted the 2013 comprehensive immigration reform bill.

“I am hoping we can find a pathway forward with President Trump. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the man who started his campaign talking about illegal immigration in a very tough way would be the man who started the country on the path of solving the problem?” Graham added. “This problem will not fix itself.”

If you don’t agree with Graham’s position, he has a surprising suggestion: Don’t vote for him.

To the people who object to this, I don’t want you to vote for me because I cannot serve you well. I just don’t see the upside of telling these kids they have to go back and live in the shadows or send them back to a country they have no idea about the country. If you send them back to their native country, some of them have never been there as anything other than a baby,
