The New Republic (Opinion)

Marco
Rubio is now the GOP’s most progressive presidential candidate on
immigration reform. Lindsey Graham has dropped out of the race and with
him will go a certain willingness
to compromise on the contentious issue. Unlike his colleague Marco
Rubio, Graham touted his record on the campaign trail, at times
emphasizing his efforts to push for comprehensive immigration reform in
the Senate as a member of the infamous Gang of Eight.
Graham also criticized both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in the media,
telling Bloomberg Politics that Cruz “has been very intolerable” on
immigration, and Donald Trump’s rhetoric and proposed policies are
“killing the Republican Party.”
On this issue, Graham’s absence will be felt. Hillary Clinton’s senior spokesperson Jesse Ferguson tweeted:
But
there’s still Marco Rubio who, in the middle of a spat with Ted Cruz at
last Thursday’s debate, outlined his policy position very clearly:
registration, fines, heightened
border security, lots of waiting, legal status, and then after some
more waiting, the possibility of citizenship.
