Trump's Immigration Plan Faces Cold Reception Even Within GOP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump’s plan to unite Republicans behind a comprehensive immigration overhaul -- a move to counter perceptions ahead of the 2020 elections that the GOP is anti-immigrant -- was showing signs of defeat even before it was formally unveiled.

Details of the proposal -- and particularly the decision by presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner to sidestep what to do about those in the country illegally -– have already doomed its legislative prospects among Democrats. But some members of Trump’s own party are also throwing cold water on the plan, a sign it could backfire, deepening perceptions that he’s a radical on immigration while exposing GOP policy rifts.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who oversees immigration legislation, said Kushner’s bill isn’t going to become law. “We all know you’re not going to pass this without dealing with the other aspects of immigration,” he said on Wednesday.

Graham plans to move ahead instead with a narrowly targeted effort to overhaul asylum laws for immigrants from Central America -- and urged the president to work with Democrats to forge a compromise to do so.

1. Trump is a master at picking what everybody hates from each group and offering it as a compromise nt

2. Under his plan, he couldn't even be a citizen.

He would not be able to pass the tests he described.

And we would end up with a nation whose immigrants would be much more intelligent, knowledgable and articulate about the country than everyday natural born citizens.
