Lindsey Graham on Mexico Tariffs: Trump’s Not the Problem, Mexico and U.S. Congress Are the Problem

‘Democrats won’t vote to change the laws’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: “Tariffs would be tough on the economy. Borders are broken that need to be fixed. If tariffs is what it takes for Mexico to do better, I’m all for tariffs. Trump is not the problem, Mexico is the problem. Republicans are not the problem. Democrats won’t vote to change the laws. Now, why do we have a million people coming here from Central America. They know if they read a card claiming asylum, you’re entitled to a hearing. It takes three or four years to get a hearing. We don’t have enough dead space so we let you go. You just have to claim asylum. I have a bill says you have to claim asylum in home country of Mexico. You can’t do it here. We ship you back if you claim it. You can bring a small child with you, we can’t send that child back. We’ll change that law, 90% of this will stop. Mexico provides buses to these people. Mexico is doing better. But I’m not blaming President Trump here. I’m blaming the Congress because we can’t do our job. And I’m blaming Mexico.”
