Graham-Durbin immigration proposal 'completely dishonest,' White House says

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) “were completely dishonest” in their negotiations on immigration with President Donald Trump, White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Monday.

Gidley criticized a bipartisan deal on immigration brought forth by the lawmakers, along with four other senators, for failing to live up to their assurances to the White House.

“Senator Graham and Senator Durbin called the president and told him they had a bipartisan bill,” Gidley said. “They’d come together with some meeting of the minds to prepare a piece of legislation that would address everything the president outlined. The president was ecstatic.”

But he added: “Here’s the problem: Senator Graham and Senator Durbin were completely dishonest.”

Their proposal, Gidley said, “woefully” underfunded the president’s long-sought wall along the southern U.S. border with Mexico and did little to address “chain migration,” an issue the Trump administration has made central to discussions with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Gidley also criticized Graham for painting himself as being in lockstep with the White House on immigration, extending a contentious streak of exchanges between the South Carolina lawmaker and the president.

“To pretend he is anything other than someone who wants open borders and amnesty is just disingenuous,” Gidley said.

White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah said earlier Monday that while Trump intended to negotiate with lawmakers over protections for young undocumented immigrants under the DREAM Act, he would not support the Graham-Durbin measure.

“The Graham-Durbin proposal is not a proposal the president can sign,” Shah said.

Leaning towards Goodlatte bill i guess

This is from politico....sorry cant figure how to highlight.

Instead of criticizing the proposal, how about stating exactly what ur looking for. Saves us all a lot more time and energy.

How can they be dishonest if no one even knows what Trump wants? Even Mitch McConnell has said “ I am looking for something that President Trump supports. He has not yet indicated what measure he is willing to sign”.

Even Republicans don’t even know what Trump wants..

But no amount of talking will get anyone anywhere if members of Congress can’t trust Trump to stick to a position

But somehow people are pissed at Durbin and Graham for lowballing lol! You can’t lowball someone that doesn’t even know what they want.

Trump wants:

Wall

End of chain migration

End of DV lottery

Everyone knew that

I think when they say lowballing theyre refering to the fact that they want everything on their list in exchange for relief for us. And Democrats just dont want to give them the whole list. They probably think they can use some of that stuff for future negotiations.
