Lindsey Graham to Americans: Your Country Belongs to the World

Graham trying to make up his mind about things.

 

Breitbart: America is not owned by Americans and their children but is instead held by people all over the globe, according to a statement from amnesty advocate Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I’ve always believed that America is an idea [which is] not defined by its people but by its ideals,” Graham said in a press statement January 12 which sought to criticise President Donald Trump for describing some foreign countries as less pleasant than America, or as “shitholes.”

Graham continued:

The American ideal is embraced by people all over the globe.  It was best said a long time ago, E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One. Diversity has always been our strength, not our weakness.  In reforming immigration we cannot lose these American Ideals.

Graham was a founding member of the 2013 “Gang of Eight” pro-amnesty group and has frequently urged the importation of more cheap labor for his home-state companies.

His view of Americans’ homeland as the shared property of the world is shared by many other pro-immigration advocates. For example, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is working with Graham to push the amnesty bill, said in December:

America is a land of immigrants — it is who we are … that is why I have consistently supported humane and comprehensive immigration law reform, and it is why I am a proud co-sponsor of the DREAM Act.

In 2014, President Barack Obama voiced a similar claim, telling his audience that Americans do not have the right to exclude migrants: more

  1. “I’ve always believed that America is an idea [which is] not defined by its people but by its ideals,”…
    ….said the puny little man who constantly fails his Oath to Defend the US Constitution.

  2. It doesn’t cost anything to share American ideals. They are free to the world.

    Citizenship is another story. He should run against Bradley Manning in Maryland. A literal crossdresser and a poiltical one.

  3. Actually, you can’t have ideas without people, because people are the ones with the ideas. Since Graham started out with that bit of idiocy, the rest of his reasoning is immaterial.

    But America’s ideas and ideals are not shared by most of the world – if they were, more of the world would look and feel like America. It’s pretty safe to say that a large chunk of the world actually hates America for various reasons – including our insistence on personal freedom. Yet Graham and his ilk insist on importing millions of people without demanding that they in fact accept our system.

    But call it what it really is – greed. Graham and our business “leaders” are willing to sell out America for a buck.

  4. @MJA this is nothing compared to the video that I found about him , he criticized the president for calling does countries hell hole but he did the same back in 2013 I have that video.

  5. How I despise Murkowski. If she got her arse out of the Beltway and back to Alaska once in awhile she might actually see how the rest of us live and what it’s like to be loyal to your state and America.

  6. Jackass. For the gift to the world of the American ideal of freedom of the individual to continue to exist our borders and culture must be preserved, appreciated, and honored. This scoundrel and all like him need to be removed from power. Hello, S.C. voters – are you willing to MAGA?
