Sen. Lindsey Graham predicts immigration reform will pass the Senate with
more than 70 votes, saying passage is necessary to stop the "demographic
death spiral" in the Republican Party.
“I’m going to leave you on a positive note, I think we’re going to have a
political breakthrough that Congress is going to pass immigration reform. I
think we’re going to get plus-70 votes, I’ve never been more optimistic
about it,” the South Carolina Republican said Sunday on NBC's “Meet the
Press.”
Saying the Republican Party had a “deep bench” of candidates for the 2016
election, especially former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Graham, a member of the
Senate Gang of Eight that fashioned the reform bill, said immigration reform
was still necessary to win.
“If we don’t pass immigration reform, if we don’t get it off the table in
a reasonable practical way, it doesn’t matter who you run in 2016,”
Graham said. “We’re in a demographic death spiral as a party, and the only
way we can get back in good graces with the Hispanic community, in my view,
is pass comprehensive immigration reform.”
