Trump Implores Senate To Vote On Hardline Immigration Bill
“I know that the Senate is planning to bring an immigration bill to the floor in the coming next weeks,” Trump said. “And I am asking today that the framework we submitted” be what senators vote on.”
President Donald Trump addressed lawmakers the GOP retreat days after his first State of the Union address. He implored them to pass a hardline immigration proposal that Democrats say is already dead on arrival.
That framework, which Democrats swear can’t pass the Senate, draws from a House bill that would limit family reunification immigration, end the diversity visa lottery program, and authorize billions for the construction of a wall ― all in exchange for providing a legislation solution for the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program that Trump ended but has said he supports.

Trump claimed nearly seven in 10 Americans approve of a bill with those principles, and he argued that the American people were “pleading” for “extra strength” at the border .
