President Trump will not consider a bipartisan immigration proposal struck by Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham and Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin because it falls far short of the requirements Trump has laid out for any deal that helps Dreamers, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Tuesday.
“I’d like to leave no doubt about where the White House stands on the Flake, Graham and Durbin agreement on immigration reform. In the bipartisan meeting here at the White House two weeks ago, we outlined a path forward on four issues: serious border security, an end to chain migration, the cancellation of the outdated and unsafe visa lottery, and a permanent solution to DACA,” Sanders told reporters, referring to the soon-to-be expired Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
