Trump says he won't sign GOP's compromise immigration bill
The Hill ^ | 06/15/18 | Melanie Zanona

President Trump on Friday said that he would not sign the House GOP’s compromise immigration bill, delivering a major blow to Republican leadership’s plans.

“I certainly wouldn’t sign the more moderate one,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends” during an impromptu interview on the White House lawn. “I need a bill that gives this country tremendous border security. I have to have that.”

GOP leaders reached an agreement to hold two votes next week on a pair of immigration bills including a compromise immigration bill, which is the product of weeks of negotiations between moderate Republicans and conservatives, and a more hard-line immigration measure from Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.).

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) earlier in the week said that Trump was excited about the compromise bill and seemed to be on board with the plan, which sticks to the fair main “pillars” outlined by the White House.

But many conservatives have remained skeptical of the effort because it provides legal protections for up to 1.8 million Dreamers, who were brought to the country illegally as children. Some lawmakers were looking for an endorsement from Trump to provide them some cover to vote for the bill.

The compromise measure creates a new merit-based visa program for Dreamers, provides $25 billion for border security, ends the diversity visa lottery program and limits family-based migration — the four priorities outlined by Trump earlier this year.

The measure also ends the separation of immigrant kids and parents at the border, ends so-called “catch and release” immigration loopholes and contains a trigger mechanism to halt the new visas if Congress denies funding for the wall.

GOP leaders plan to whip the bill on Friday, with floor votes scheduled for next Thursday.

“Compromise” is just the ‘RATs’ way of say, “We win!”

There is NO REASON to “compromise”. The ONLY reason to reach across the aisle is to CRUSH the anti-American ideology of the leftist liberal demonrats.

The measure also ends the separation of immigrant kids and parents at the border, ends so-called “catch and release” immigration loopholes and contains a trigger mechanism to halt the new visas "if Congress denies funding for the wall."

This can only mean that the bill itself does not provide funding for the wall but only commits congress to provide future funding. We've seen that movie before. This proposal should be DOA. "If it doesn't provide for a wall then don't bother to call."

Correct, because most of the GOP Senate are Cheap Labor Express stooges.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Capito, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico
