As eight senators huddled behind closed doors to craft a bipartisan and
comprehensive immigration-reform bill, South Carolinians began seeing
television ads bashing Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham for his
involvement. "Who elected Graham to demand amnesty and welfare for
millions of illegal aliens?" a faceless voice asked in the February ad
paid for by advocacy group NumbersUSA.

According to the latest United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, more than two-thirds of all Americans and nine out of every 10 Republicans oppose making legalized immigrants "eligible for government benefits ... before they become citizens," confirming the issue's potency as one of the main political attacks against immigration reform supporters in 2014.
