Lindsey Graham Targeted In Anti-Immigration Reform Ads

The group, NumbersUSA, began radio ads statewide and said television ads would follow on Wednesday. NumbersUSA opposes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the U.S., a measure Graham supports.”Who elected Graham to demand amnesty and welfare for millions of illegal aliens?” a voiceover says in the ad.”Amnesty?” an unnamed man replies. “Not me.”Graham is the first member of the Senate group to be targeted by NumbersUSA, which said it plans to eventually run ads against his fellow Republicans, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.), along with Democrats Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Dick Durbin (Ill.), Bob Menendez (N.J.) and Michael Bennet (Colo.).NumbersUSA argues that allowing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants would increase future unauthorized immigration. The group also opposes an increase in legal immigration, also to be reformed under the “gang of eight” plan.The ad also goes after Graham for his support for reforming employment-based immigration.”Who elected Senator Graham to insist on more green cards for foreign workers when returning veterans can’t find jobs?” it asks.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/26/lindsey-graham-immigration_n_2769102.htmlElise Foley in The Huffington Post
