Chuck Schumer warns GOP centrists against supporting compromise immigration bill

Published June 18, 2018 3:45pm ET



Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned Monday that House Republican centrists shouldn’t be “duped” into supporting a compromise immigration bill being written by House leadership that won’t move in the Senate.

“The House moderates will lose all credibility if they accept this sham of a bill, which is extreme and drastically cuts immigration in ways unacceptable to the Senate and the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “It holds Dreamers and kids who have been separated from their parents hostage in order to cut legal immigration and enact the hard right’s immigration agenda.”
