GOP senator: 'We were there' on immigration before talks got derailed

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) asserted Wednesday that the Senate had enough votes to pass an immigration bill in February but talks were derailed by the administration.

Collins said during a Senate Appropriations hearing that an immigration deal fell apart after the Department of Homeland Security issued a "misleading" memo and President Trump threatened to veto the bill.

“We were there," said Collins, who pushed to secure support for legislation earlier this year. "At one point I could count the 60 votes.”


Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Collins during the Senate panel hearing Wednesday that it's "unfortunate" an immigration bill hasn't come together, but added that a deal on DACA is still possible.

“Look, I’ll be frank, my view is a plan that would end the illegality, along with some relief for the DACA young people is possible. It can be done,” said Sessions, who has maintained a hardline position on illegal immigration.

I'm surprise Sessions had something decent to say

Thats why im not worried at all. He wants to cut legal migration one way or another and they will use us.

Every time Sessions says the word "illegality" a kitten dies.

Hate session with the passion. I can vividly remember when he announce the termination of daca. I bet he went home an orgasmed about it

Damn, thats cold

He said some relief...

By that he means We'll be allowed to rub one out before we get deported

Fuck session!

Thats probably what is on his mind
