Republican Sens. Flake (AZ), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Cory Gardner (CO), joined with Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin (IL), Michael Bennet (CO), and the miraculously-still-in-Congress Bob Menendez (NJ) to ink the deal which they say represents a “moderate” approach to comprehensive immigration reform that preserves both sides’ priorities.
