Graham: GOP must tackle immigration to win White House

The Hill – Peter Sullivan

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is warning the Republican Party that its chances of winning the White House in 2016 will be “almost nonexistent” if it does not at least take a step toward immigration reform.

Graham, who has floated a presidential run himself, was a supporter of the immigration reform bill that passed the Senate last year.

“If we don’t at least make a down payment on solving the problem and rationally dealing with the 11 million , if we become the party of self-deportation in 2015 and 2016, then the chance of winning the White House I think is almost nonexistent,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview posted Sunday.
