Quote of the Day: GOP must tackle immigration

Today’s GOP quote of the day is another reminder that it’s time for Republicans to take action to fix our nation’s broken immigration system, courtesy of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC):

“If we don't at least make a down payment on solving the problem and rationally dealing with the 11 million [people in the country illegally], if we become the party of self-deportation in 2015 and 2016, then the chance of winning the White House I think is almost non-existentIf the Republican Party cannot muster the political courage to deal with the DREAM Act children in a fair and balanced way after we secure our border, that says a lot about the Republican Party's future regarding the Hispanic community.”

We hope House Republicans will heed Senator Graham’s advice when the 114th Congress begins next week.
