Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday that the only thing holding up an immigration reform deal for the Gang of Eight right now is a guest-worker program and said the odds are 70-30 that a deal is reached.
“It’s the guest worker program” holding up a deal, Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He said that after big labor and big business reached a deal on the issue, the Gang of Eight is revisiting it.
“If we’re reasonable with the 11 million, if we’ll give them a pathway to citizenship that’s earned and hard and fair,” Graham said, “then the Democratic Party has to give us a guest-worker program to help our economy. That’s what we’re arguing over.”
“70-30 we get there,” Graham added.
