Sen. Lindsay Graham, another supporter of the amnesty bill, was also booed today:

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Legislation dealing with illegal immigration divided Republicans in Columbia today at the state GOP convention. US Senator Lindsey Graham was booed when he talked about the legislation and the crowd shouted –NO– when said it was the best deal on the issue that could be reached. A few minutes later US Senator Jim DeMint was cheered as he said the bill allows for amnesty and people are trying to ram it down America’s throat. The state’s two US senators aren’t only on the opposite sides of the immigration issue. They also are backing different presidential candidates. Graham worked on the legislation with US Senator John McCain of Arizona. And DeMint backs former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Romney was at the convention and also received cheers as he attacked the bill for giving amnesty to illegal immigrants.
