Graham: Cruz ‘Misleading the Public’ About Stance on Immigration

‘The bottom line is Ted Cruz is misleading the public about his stance on immigration’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "We have Jeb coming up in one minute. Cruz and Rubio, that was another fight. They were pointing fingers at each other, two senators calling each other liars. So you’re in the Senate, you served with both of these gentlemen. Which one is lying about their role in immigration? I’m serious."
GRAHAM: "That’s why I love politics. You, with really hard to get in the Senate and you get to answer questions like this. The bottom line is Ted Cruz is misleading the public about his stance on immigration. I sat by the guy for four days. That is my time in Gitmo during the immigration hearings. [ Laughter ] And the markup. And he had an amendment that would give legal status, he preached to anybody that would listen, citizenship is too far, adopt my amendment for legal status after you pass a background check —"
SCARBOROUGH: "What about Marco? Is Marco telling the truth about immigration?"
GRAHAM: "Marco stuck to the bill but here’s what Marco is doing. He’s putting forth a concept that will never work. I will only deal with 11 million after we secure the border, we get E verify and everything Republicans want. He is using the talk radio line to justify not dealing with the 11 million. I like Marco a lot but Marco we’re not going to get everything we want as Republicans on border security, controlling who gets a job and legal immigration until the Democrats know what will happen to the 11 million. The idea of we get everything then we’ll talk to them about what they want won’t work."
SCARBOROUGH: "All right, Lindsey Graham thank you so much. Mary Kissel is agreeing with you and she doesn’t agree with anybody. Mary, thank you, we need you for three hours."
