Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham doesn't expect Donald Trump to win the White House, in fact he thinks Latino voters will be the billionaire's downfall.

And so, after the November election, Graham, who ran for president this year as well, said he expects the Senate will once again take on comprehensive immigration reform.

'I'll tell you what I'm going to do in 2017,' Graham said, according to Politico. 'I'm going to take the Gang of Eight bill out, dust it off and ask anybody and everybody who wants to work with me to make it better to do so.'

The 'Gang of Eight' bill was the closest that lawmakers got to passing immigration reform in recent years.

The push, which came from a bipartisan group of eight senators, came after the 2012 election.

Some Republicans, at the time, realized that the party needed to bring more Latinos into the fold after GOP nominee Mitt Romney lost the group to sitting President Barack Obama by 44 points.

Romney had made comments about 'self-deportation,' which were widely laughed at, but were child's play compared to Trump's message to Latino voters – he's loudly called for a border wall, while referring to some Mexican immigrants as 'rapists.'

Pro-immigration reform Republicans senators hoped passing comprehensive legislation during the summer of 2013 would help with that segment of the vote by the next election, though the bill sat in the House and wasn't passed.

Graham suspects if Trump loses by the same or bigger margins, GOP senators will come around to immigration reform again.

His colleague, Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a former 'Gang of Eight' member who's not a fan of Trump, had something similar to say.

'The hour [when] we can move it, we've got to move it,' Flake told Politico. 'If they don't [understand the urgency], we'll do another autopsy after the next election and we'll determine we've got to do it.'

Flake was referring to the Republican National Committee's 100-page report that called for an embrace of comprehensive immigration reform as a way to attract more Latino voters.

On the Democratic side, 'Gang of Eight' member Sen. Chuck Schumer is climbing up the congressional ladder and will replace Senate Leader Harry Reid.

Schumer has already committed to making immigration reform a top priority.

His fellow Democrats – Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado have all publicly pushed for immigration reform in recent months.

'We can't wait another three years – the time to fix our broken immigration system is now, and I'll keep fighting for real solutions,' Bennet wrote last month in the Aurora Sentinel.

Menendez told Politico he was 'certainly open' to reviving the 'Gang of Eight' group.

Menendez remained committed to a comprehensive immigration bill instead of passing reforms in pieces.

He worried to Politico that is Congress worked on visas for just Silicon Valley, then the seafood industry would chime in and demand more foreign workers and the agricultural sector would want reforms too.

'Before you know it, it's like Jell-O,' Menendez told the online publication. 'You can't just push it on one side and just expect it not to pop out on the other side.'

After the 'Gang of Eight' bill died in the House, Sen. Marco Rubio (left) and Sen. John McCain (right) walked away from the effort. If they both get re-elected there's no word on whether they'd join the effort again

'There's always going to be a demand,' Menendez continued. 'That's why comprehensive is the way to deal with the totality.'

When Durbin was asked by Politico if he was interested in getting the band back together, he pointed to two well-known Republicans who had turned their backs on the reforms – Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

'Well, two of the eight, two Republicans have disavowed the entire effort,' Durbin said.

'I don't want to question their motives or suggest that they're going to have a change of heart and be interested in the issue again,' Durbin said. 'The problem is still there.'

Rubio walked away from taking credit for his 'Gang of Eight' involvement because he was forced to the political right on the issue while running against the likes of Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz.

Cruz, at one point during the campaign, said, 'The Gang of Eight– they fought tooth and nail to try to jam this amnesty down the American people's throat,' and then linked Rubio to the cause.

In November, Trump dubbed Rubio 'the king of amnesty.'

Last month, Rubio changed his mind and decided to run for re-election, which could put him back in the Senate and in the position to rejoin the 'Gang of Eight.'

McCain stayed mum on another run at reform, Politico reported, as he's in a tough re-election battle in his heavily Latino state, made more complicated by Trump's pro-border wall stance.

'All I focus on is my election,' McCain told the publication. 'Then I set the agenda for the next year.'
