Immigration
“This illustration is a reminder that Lindsey Graham, who once enjoyed respect and an ability to work both sides of the aisle is in the pocket of Donald Trump. He once worked on high profile causes like immigration reform, but his actions show a loss of moral compass on social justice. Equality, diversity and humanity are cherished values and perhaps he has forgotten his long friendship with Senator John McCain? Changing sides with the political wind tells me that the interest of his constituents is no longer in his heart.“
