Graham Discusses Immigration Reform on Fox News

I can senator and gang of eight method Lindsey Graham welcome senator good to have you with us that we don't have to have to think

eight of us are trying to put together legislative proposal that would go through the red the process it would go to the Judiciary Committee of

where I'm a member it would be amended %HESITATION %HESITATION debated %HESITATION changed %HESITATION and then go to the full

Senate eventually to the house the legislative proposal were working on I think is a starting point of the debate not indeed born the debate are

you close yes very within days I hope that by next week we can roll something out five

to get some legislation because you want to placate the Hispanic vote that was the gist of the argument laid on us today you

have a %HESITATION family based immigration system when the whole world has a merit economic based immigration system two

girls prevented third wave twenty years from now share your border you have a right to your own sovereignty control who gets a job provide

%HESITATION abundant labor to employers who can't find American workers at competitive wage nest

eleven million be firm and fair I think that is a long overdue solution to a very hard problem if

we don't get it right this time it'd be a decade or more before anybody takes up so to Rubio says this talk of an imminent

imminent legislation is premature is there an area where you and he disagree at specific to the

idea of a bill being signed is not imminent the idea of a legislative proposal this bipartisan coming to

the Judiciary Committee I hope will happen next week you gotta go through the committee then you go to the fourth floor of the Senate into

the house everybody in America will get to read the bill those who don't like it can try to kill it those who want to change it will have an opportunity but

the one thing I want accepted the status quo your get Sam to stay with us exactly what we have been doing nothing if

you want to succumb country to grow and be competitive we gotta access labor outside this country were declining population the current immigration system

is broken for all concerned closing of the border is that to you job one not closing of the book sovereignty

spent eighteen billion dollars here in the border since two thousand six we're going to spend more but once you get here getting a job and

a very fast system to make sure that you can't hire somebody illegally if your employer you can find out at the person in front of you is legal or not that's

all about somebody controlling who comes into this country is a sovereign right of this country now insist on sovereignty gun

control universal background checks not apparently we here in the legislation is going to come before Congress and before the president up

the acidic capping the size of the magazine right not going to be part of the legislation both

of those two issues on believe are very popular with voters but they're not part of the legislation when

explain well because you can't get the votes for the past and that's why they're not part universal background checks does
