Graham says adding amnesty to infrastructure bill could be ‘dumbest idea’ in history of the Senate, WH

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News on Monday that the emerging Democratic push to add amnesty to the multi-trillion “infrastructure package” is a reckless “power grab” and may very well be the single dumbest idea in the history of the White House and Senate while there is a border crisis.

He laid into Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for attempting to pass — without any Republican support — a monsterous $3.5 trillion budget resolution that he said has not even been written. "It’s a power grab," Graham said. He said the package doesn’t have a "damn thing to do with infrastructure." Republicans have been trying to raise the alarm about what they say is an effort by Democrats to sneak amnesty for millions in a bill that is ostensibly intended to fix potholes. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, tweeted last week, "Democrats are trying to sneak mass amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants through Congress under the cover of their budget scheme. They hope you won’t notice."
