Lindsey Graham Warns Biden That Ending 'Remain in Mexico' Policy Would Be 'Catastrophic'

Republican Senator (and pearl clutcher) Lindsey Graham of South Carolina warned President Joe Biden on Sunday that ending the "remain in Mexico" immigration policy would be disastrous.

"If the Biden Administration ends the 'Remain in Mexico' policy for asylum seekers- and changes asylum reform measures- it will be a catastrophic combination leading to a run on our border and complicate efforts to pass immigration related legislation," Graham said in a tweet.

"Over 50,000 asylum seekers have been waiting in Mexico rather than in the United States where they often disappear while waiting in the one million person asylum case backlog," Graham added later in a Twitter thread.

"If that policy changes then the magnet created by abuse of our asylum laws will be turned back on," the senator maintained. "Major problems lie ahead if President Biden goes down this road."

With detail & data, describe the disaster and how ending this policy leads to it.
He can't, so he should zip it!

Seriously
No one cares what you have to say

I would love to see a talking head say "Lindsey Graham had this to say about...ah, who cares? Movin on."

"complicate efforts to pass immigration related legislation"


You had 4 years to legislate an immigration reform and just like clockwork your party chose NOT to legislate on ANYTHING!

No healthcare plans, no immigration plans, NOTHING NADA.



So, little Lindsey you need to just shut the hell up. Your party has f'upped the government so badly that like usual Democrats have to come and clean up after you.

Oh and you should be behind bars, and who knows perhaps you will be very soon

are quite correct they never wanted to legislate anything from immigration to healthcare. Lindsey is just a parasite.

Republicans will never pass any legislation acceptable to Democrats

As President Obama found, there is no compromise acceptable to Republicans. Attempting to "reach across the aisle" will only result in weak proposals Republicans will vote down anyway.

His next job should be with a psychic pay-per-call service. That's where his real talents lie. Grifting off his bullshit.

Sounds like it to me.

Remember how Pissolini used to suddenly spout off on Twitter just to stir up a hornets' nest? IMO it looks like that's exactly what Lady G is doing.

And we're saying the same thing to Lady G that we said to Pissolini... STFU!!!

The resounding Dem victories in 2018 and 2020 only underscore what an unfortunate anomaly we had to endure since 2016. A third of the people dictating the terms to the other 2/3. We're not fascists and we don't take our cues from frightened racists and bigots.

I can understand you not wanting to bang your head after your histrionics cause you to fall off your fainting couch in a fit of rage. Perhaps you should consider Xanax. Better yet, try mooching some Provigil off of Dear Leader the next time you're down there sucking up to him.
