Give him cover and he will try it again

There are tens of thousands of citizens in South Carolina that express their discontent for the actions of Senator Lindsey Graham. Senator Graham is up for reelection and now is the time to put words into action.

If Graham is reelected and has the security and cover of another 6 years in office, does anyone really believe that he will not return to his condescending attitude and attempt to promote and pass the same type of full amnesty for illegal immigrants that he championed in July ?

In light of local communities reacting to the attempt of Congress to pass amnesty, where many are putting forth their own local provisions and security laws, Mr. Graham’s response was ‘Mr. Graham said local governments should not pass anti-illegal immigration regulations but should trust Congress to address the issue.’ Kirsten Singleton; Morris News Service; Wed Aug 8th, 2007

We can go back to some of his comments on the floor of the Senate when discussion of not only bringing in 12 million illegal immigrants by granting them amnesty but about the volumes of immigrants who would be allowed to enter the country as well, as the family members of the illegal immigrants who would have received amnesty and legalized status.
Mr. GRAHAM. “So if you want to be the person who keeps families apart, bring this bill down. I assure families will not be reunified under the current system like they are here” (he is speaking of the immigration bill) , that we will have a dramatic increase in green cards to get these families reunited. We go up to 74 percent. If you want to keep families apart, bring this bill down and let the current system survive.
Secondly, when it comes to families, there are 12 million people here illegally. Is it not true that their families, under this bill--if they will do the right thing--will never live in fear again? ““(meaning not only will the 12 + million illegals be granted amnesty but they will double or triple that number by allowing the families to follow)

In the heat of the debate where South Carolinians and millions of other American citizens rose up to express their contempt for the amnesty plan, Mr. Graham’s response was to call us ‘Bigots’ and to say that if we would ‘shut-up’ then they could go ahead and get this bill passed.

Well Lindsey, listen carefully, those of us in South Carolina and those Americans who want to secure our country are not ‘Bigots’ and we do not intend to ‘shut-up’ or go away so you can get your amnesty provisions passed.

If we want to change our representation in the Senate, Now is the time to put our Words into Action. I am running for the office of United States Senator, representing the people of South Carolina, to replace Lindsey Graham. I am running because he has abandoned our concerns and best interest. He has expressed an attitude of arrogance and contempt for the very people who sent him to South Carolina. He championed the cause of granting illegal amnesty to over 12 million illegal immigrants and was willing to follow that numbers with millions and millions of their family members.
He voted against the Senate Amendment 1339 which would require the full use of the U.S. Visit System passed in 1996 and mandated to be fully operational by 2005. This plan provides for biometric check in and check out at the border. We discuss the contrast of this in another article, but Lindsey would rather promote a national identification card for American Citizens than he would for enforcing the protection at the border which would target the illegal immigrants.

Lindsey voted against the amendment offer by Senator DeMint which would require that the illegal immigrants being granted amnesty would be ‘required’ to have at least a basic protection of insurance coverage so the American taxpayer would not have to fund their healthcare as well. Lindsey Graham voted against that protection.

If you allow Lindsey Graham to have 6 more years, He will try again and again. He will promote the same plan and the same solution, amnesty, until he can find a time and a method when the American people are distracted and it will become law.

Join me in this effort, become part of the team. Between now and January 2008 we need to get the word out, donate to the cause, become active in the process and refuse to allow Lindsey Graham an opportunity to try amnesty again.
