Trump expected to call for bipartisan immigration meeting amid stalled talks
 
Quote:
It’s pretty clear to me that the president wants to get this addressed and is willing to call a meeting early next week, a bipartisan meeting to work through the differences,” Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (Texas) said Thursday after meeting with Trump earlier in the day.

Democrats are insisting on an immigration deal to protect so-called Dreamers as part of a yearlong spending package but lawmakers are currently in a stalemate, with Democrats balking at Republican proposals to beef up border security.


Unfortunately, our discussions on border security and enforcement with Democrats are much further apart, and that is key to getting a bipartisan deal on DACA,” Lankford and Tillis said in a joint statement.

The negotiators said that unless Democrats give ground on border security and related immigration reform issues, "we cannot accomplish the solutions our country needs and many families deserve."

"More work remains ahead,” they said in their statement.

Lankford, who attended the meeting, later clarified to reporters that Trump has privately expressed willingness to be flexible on the wall.

People want to paint that it’s some 2,000-mile long, 30-foot-high wall of concrete. That’s not what he means and not what he tries to say,” Lankford told reporters after sitting down with the president.

“There’s going to be border fencing in some areas, there’s going to be vehicular barricades, there’s going to be technology, there’s going to be greater manpower in some areas,” he added.

Lankford said Trump has been clear “in private.”

That's very reasonable.

Oh shit. I can almost feel and taste the sand from the beaches of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

If that's the case, what's the holdup? The deal should be straightforward or are we being held hostage for political purposes?

But wasn't this was Dems were proposing when talking about border security??

I don't know man, but I'm getting somewhat hopeful and don't wanna be let down.

Schumer indicates Dems have "leverage" in talks over gov't funding/DACA: "In the House, they cannot pass abill without Democratic support..We have leverage because they need Democratic votes to pass anything.

The Democrats should just give in to those damn demands. He is not calling for f**king internal enforcement.

So, uh, this is just a random thought, ... but why not, you know, USE your fucking leverage?


We all know about this. Everyone knows. You keep repeating it. You've run out of things to say, Schumer.
