Mileage Psycho Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Interesting, this could be a pivot or maybe not. Quote Trump may call for immigration bill in speech to Congress, NBC reports President Donald Trump may call for a compromise immigration bill in his speech Tuesday night before a joint session of Congress, NBC News reported, citing a senior White House official. It is not clear what exactly Trump would want to see in that bill. But he has started to seek a crackdown on illegal immigration through his actions as president so far with moves many Democrats have slammed. "The time is right for an immigration bill if both sides are willing to compromise," a senior White House official said. Trump decried illegal immigration on the campaign trail and in the early days of his presidency, arguing it reduces economic opportunity for Americans and increases crime. He has signed orders directing the construction of a wall on the United States-Mexico border and the hiring of more federal agents for immigration enforcement. Previous efforts for an immigration compromise bill that would offer undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship have stalled in Congress. Trump's call for a bill Tuesday would come ahead of his expected Wednesday signing of a new executive order restricting travel from seven Muslim-majority countries due to terrorism concerns. Federal courts suspended a previous version of the order, which prompted nationwide confusion and criticism from many Democrats and civil rights groups http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-may-call-for-immigration-bill-in-speech-to-congress-nbc-reports/ar-AAnE2GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 that office does have a way of changing a man. i don't think any of us can appreciate the pressure of that job. if he's willing to compromise on this i might find myself supporting some of what he's about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileage Psycho Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 He's in the hospitality business as is his good friend Sheldon Adelson, a hotel cannot operate with a back of the house that isn't fully staffed, then there are the meat packing plants in the heart of red counties, many industries are already experiencing absenteeism due to people who are afraid to come to work. I'm thinking Trump will speak about a plan that offers a path to citizenship, but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
