A bill aimed at resetting immigration negotiations in the Senate is running into early backlash from President Trump.
The bill from Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.), introduced on Monday, pairs a path to citizenship for “dreamers” with border security measures — but does not include funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The two senators believe their bill could be a base for negotiators among a wider group of senators, but Trump took a shot at the measure before it was even formally introduced.
The president said it was a non-starter to offer a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects many immigrants who entered the United States illegally as children, without funding for the wall.
“Any deal on DACA that does not include STRONG border security and the desperately needed WALL is a total waste of time,” he wrote in a tweet. “March 5th is rapidly approaching and the Dems seem not to care about DACA. Make a deal!”

I honestly don’t get him.
He’s just one clueless old man.
Agreed. To think that he might have been president.
But I think that you are correct — he has a vendetta against Trump.
I’m wondering where he is. Are we sure he’s still in Arizona?
I wouldn’t suggest just Trump.
He seems to have some sort of vendetta against the nation.
If you look at it closely, he seems to have mirrored a lot of Obama actions over the last 8 years.
It has long been my take that he comes down on the wrong side of our national issues. Another-words, he picks the side that is decidedly against sound U. S. interests > IMO.
Interesting. And he was in the service.
I wouldn’t normally wish someone to kick the bucket early, but for that POS Juan McStain, I’ll make an exception.
