White House: Trump not open to 'Gang of Eight' immigration bill

But White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump does not support the Gang of Eight measure, adding he encouraged a group of senators to collaborate on a future immigration bill.

“Earlier in the meeting he said specifically at one point the Gang of Eight bill is amnesty,” Spicer told a small group of reporters in his West Wing office. “Then he said if you guys want to work on something, I’m willing to listen.”

If a group of lawmakers produced such a bill, Trump said he "would be glad to look at it.”

The most confusing administration ever

Basically the Trump administration is distancing itself from past bills while at the same time supporting the core components of them! This is what Trump has been doing from Day 1. This is encouraging as far as I see it.

Well I think the confusion stems from the fact that the future modified version would still be the gang of 8's bill.

The title of this post is misleading, as Trump is not willing to sign the current version, but he's open to negotiations about modifications to it.

title is misleading, because he is very open to it. lol

hes against it cause it doesnt have his name on it. they wanna do a new one named the gang of trump bill... he wants to be ronald reagan so bad... lmao deadass

This is exactly it. The man wants credit for every last good thing that has been accomplished and is going to be accomplished. He is for pretty much ALL components of Obamacare yet he wants to "repeal and replace" it lol. I say let him have it as long as we get what we want.

What if its a "gang of 8 bill" but only for dreamers?
for example only dreamers can benefit from it, since we have gone through the entire screening process.
