Senator Lindsey Graham is agreeing with President Trump’s decision to put countries on notice for allowing migrant caravans to proceed to America’s southern border.
In a series of tweets Thursday, the South Carolina Senator said the situation is unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for the U.S.

He added, the president is right to hold Mexico accountable since they could reduce the flow and stop the caravans if they chose to do so.
Senator Graham explained he also wants to help stabilize Central and South American nations.
He ended by saying the caravans are a separate issue than illegals who have lived in the U.S. for years, and should be dealt with as separate and distinct problems.
