Lindsey Graham

Whether you like President Trump or not, we had the lowest illegal crossings, in the last 40 years, on his watch.

It would take a real lift to stop the flow.

You got to get bipartisan buy-in. Right? You got to secure your border.

The threat of terrorism against the United States is getting worse, not better.

I think if you brought the Gang of Eight bill, or any other bill, as the base bill and have a debate on it, this Committee would be well served.

America is really in a national crisis, according to the mayor of New York City--not Lindsey Graham.

We've had 146 people on the terrorist watchlist.

This is a national crisis that's begged for a national response since day one.

You're absolutely right.

It shows the difference of the two parties on this issue.

It's absolutely okay for every liberal organization to destroy conservatives who make decisions they don't like.

I don't think there's one person on our side of the aisle believes that we, the Federal Government, should be deciding these issues.

I would encourage you to advocate for your child.

To deny that immigration is not going to be the life blood of the future economy is a mistake.

If you deported all illegal immigrants in the agricultural space, we'd all starve.

I am convinced our education system is not producing enough in this area, and you need immigration to fill in the gap.

Part of it is we pay people too much not to work.

We've had over 5 million people come in illegally, so anyway. I think it's unsecure, and we need to make it secure.

This is a really good topic. Let's see if we can find some common ground.

If those 50 percent went away tomorrow what would happen?

We don't have a rational legal immigration system.

Let's make this a win/win. Stop illegal immigration. Let's go to merit-based immigration.

Never shut up. Never be quiet.

And if you don't see that, you're blind.

It would take more effort on the border. It would take a real lift to stop the flow.
