Graham: Stephen Miller makes immigration deal impossible

BY JORDAIN CARNEY at the Hill

"SNIP.........

GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) warned on Sunday that the White House staff is undercutting President Trump and Congress's ability to get a deal on immigration.

"Every time we have a proposal it is only yanked back by staff members. As long as Stephen Miller is in charge of negotiating immigration, we're going nowhere," Graham told reporters as he headed into a closed-door negotiation with a bipartisan group of senators.

He added that "the White House staff, I think, is making it very difficult."

Miller, a White House aide, is well known for his conservative views on immigration. He was formerly a staffer for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who frequently opposed bipartisan immigration deals.

aboard the M.S St. Louis, then those same " regular" white guys he so wants to protect, would have shipped them back to meet their fate.

Cheering the wrong team, Mr. Rebel without a cause.
