Immigration debate splits 2 friends: South Carolina's senators
By James Rosen
McClatchy Newspapers


GREENVILLE, S.C. - It was breakfast time at Tommy's Country Ham House, and 170 people tucked into steaming plates of grits and biscuits and sausage.

In Greenville, home to Bob Jones University, they leapt to their feet and gave a hero's welcome to Sen. Jim DeMint for leading Senate opposition to a massive immigration bill he's boiled down to one word: amnesty.

"If we can't secure our borders, then we really don't have a country," DeMint said to roars of approval.

The next day, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a fellow South Carolina Republican who helped craft the immigration bill, got a different response when he fielded questions during a call-in show on WORD 1330 AM, a Greenville talk-radio station that's Rush Limbaugh's main venue in this part of the state.
