Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has criticized 19 states and Washington for suing the Trump administration after it ended the Flores agreement, which sets standards and guidelines regarding the detention and treatment of children who have crossed into the United States illegally.
“These states are supporting the magnets of illegal immigration,” Graham told Fox & Friends during an appearance on Aug. 27. “The reason we’re being overrun is two reasons. If you come here and claim asylum and your hearing is three years away and you never show up, we don’t hold people for three years so all they’ve got to do is ask for asylum.”
