The Daily Show hosted by John Oliver -- himself an immigrant -- on Tuesday night mocked the Republicans Party's resistance to comprehensive immigration reform.
He begins by pointing out that some Republicans are in favor of immigration reform because, as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) explained, "We’re in a demographic death spiral as a party and the only way we can get back in good graces with the Hispanic community in my view is pass comprehensive immigration reform."
Or, as Oliver put it, “We choose to help you not because we want to, but because mathematically we feel we have to.”
Mapping out various obstacles the legislation will have to overcome to make it out of the Senate, Oliver laments that the final obstacle to reaching President Obama's desk might prove too high: The House GOP's "1,000-foot high border fence built out of ignorance and spite."
