Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who helped write the immigration bill proposed by the Gang of Eight, said that the new proposal “practically militarize[s] the border” during a debate with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.

“[W]e practically militarized the border,” Graham said on Fox News Sunday this morning, citing the Corker-Hoeven amendment. “This whole border security amendment, I think, is the most aggressive attempt to control the southern border and regain our sovereignty.”
