It begins: Democratic Super PAC already attacking "Gang of Eight" Republicans on immigration

The group is out with a dossier Monday entitled “Barriers to Reform: The anti-immigrant and extremist money blocking progress in the Senate.” The report singles out a handful of Republican senators for what it describes as “disturbing” anti-immigration rhetoric and notes donations they’ve received from individuals and foundations who have also funded border hawk groups like FAIR and NumbersUSA, among others.

So who’s on the list of these supposed “barriers to reform” with “troubling histories on the issue?” Every Republican who wrote the immigration bill.

Yep, the entire GOP half of the “Gang of 8” makes a prominent appearance in American Bridge’s oppo file, including Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Jeff Flake (R-AZ). Meanwhile the most prominent anti-immigration Republican in the Senate, Jeff Sessions (R-AL), barely gets a mention.
