US Republicans unveil immigration bill, Trump demands wall funds
Trump scrapped DACA last September, but left a six-month window for Congress to craft a solution by March, when thousands of immigrants would face deportation.
But it also includes conservative priorities like cracking down on sanctuary cities, and provides no special pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.
US Republican lawmakers today unveiled an immigration package that would tighten border security, end chain migration and fund President Donald Trump’s border wall, while shielding nearly a million so-called “Dreamers” from deportation. The legislation was introduced just minutes after Trump said that any legislation that protects such undocumented immigrants would need to fund a wall along the US-Mexico border — one of the primary pledges of his 2016 presidential campaign.
“Any solution has to include the wall because without the wall, it all doesn’t work,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
