Meanwhile, no Republican is supporting what the open borders Democrats are proposing. Even Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), who is typically in favor of comprehensive immigration reform (amnesty), is standing firm for securing the border first. From the Washington Post:
High U.S. unemployment, an anti-Washington mood and violence from Mexico's war against drug cartels are feeding the public's frustration, particularly in Arizona, where smuggling-related violence and crimes are on the rise. Referring to the new Arizona law, a toughest-in-the-nation crackdown on illegal immigration, Graham said last week it "shows that the country is moving away from comprehensive [reform], and towards border security."
