President Trump is asking for new legislation (as opposed to the preferred tactic of simply choosing not to enforce the current law).
He's asking Congress to do their jobs!
Congress doesn't want to write a law that's weak on illegal immigration because they know it's political poison. They'd rather write laws that are strong on illegal immigration and then quietly not enforce them.
Along comes Ted Cruz with a law that not only fast-tracks deportation but also DOUBLES the number of federal immigration judges (that Trump will get to choose).
It's awesome!
It has no chance.
Thank you for posting this. I was thinking the same as you.
