WASHINGTON _ U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham put his reelection at stake in 2014 for helping champion a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration bill the year before.
On Tuesday, at a closely watched congressional hearing, the South Carolina Republican reminded everyone of that fact _ and got a Trump administration official to confirm under oath that, had that bill been signed into law, many of today's border security hurdles would be moot.
"If we'd passed th(is) ... bill, do you agree that most of the problems we're dealing with, if not all, would not exist?" Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan.
