Remember when Lindsey Graham tried to run for president and couldn’t even get a fraction of 1% of the vote? Seems Miss Lindsey is looking for atttention again. Apparently, he’s writing up a bill that would legalize all those illegals that Obama gave amnesty to with executive orders. Remember also that the court threw out those executive orders meaning the Obama “dreamers” were still illegals, no matter what Obama tried.
As a parting gift to Obama, Lindsey Graham wants to give those same illegals amnesty. With just 50 days left in the Obama reign of terror, Lindsey Graham is hoping to ram this through in the lame duck session of Congress before Trump takes office.

An amnesty created by executive action can be rescinded by executive action. And as chance would have it, the incoming president is an outspoken opponent of amnesty, exactly the kind of guy who’d be inclined to rescind. DACA, Obama’s programs for DREAMers, could be history less than two months from now. What’s a border dove like Lindsey Graham to do? Why, write a bill that would give DREAMers legal status under federal law, of course. Then the issue would be settled and there’d be nothing President Trump could do to take that status away.
Seems like a logical project for amnesty fans to take up in the lame-duck session. Except that … Graham’s not trying to get this done in the lame-duck. He’s expecting Trump to sign the bill into law next year. And really, he has no choice on the timing: It’s hard to imagine Mitch McConnell ramming an amnesty through for Barack Obama’s signature with a Republican successor just weeks away from taking office.
