Lindsey Graham, who weeks ago was carrying water for President Donald Trump by tweeting “no wall, no deal” (which was after last year when he was harrumphing that the way to Make America Great Again was by telling Trump “to go to hell“), is now declaring that there may be a possibility for Democrats to trade $5 billion in exchange for legalizing the DREAMers and doing something about those whose Temporary Protected Status Trump has scrapped.
Cynics could be forgiven for laughing at the messenger. But Graham’s message is exactly what Reason Foundation Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia has also delivered to Democrats.
A wall that’ll never be completed may be a waste of taxpayer money, Dalmia writes, but in a $4 trillion budget it is a small ransom to pay for preventing mass deportations of people who have lived and contributed to America. So unless Democrats have a better way of legalizing these folks, they should consider it.
