President Trump will unveil a plan Thursday to add border security and foreign workers and reduce family ties, but not a bill with bipartisan support.
President Trump will announce a sweeping immigration plan Thursday to boost border security and foreign workers while reducing family reunification, but the White House proposal has little chance of advancing in Congress.
It faces resistance from immigration advocates and other opponents, in part because it does not address the estimated, or the so-called Dreamers, the estimated 800,000 migrants who were brought to the country illegally as children.recent surge of Central American families and childrenSen. Lindsey Graham , one of Trump’s closest allies in Congress, poured cold water on the White House plan even before it was announced.
Kushner’s plan gives priority to children and spouses, but not extended family members, and eliminates the diversity visa, in order to focus more on employment and skills-based immigration, another senior administration official said. Sen. Charles E. Schumer , the Senate minority leader, rejected the plan on Wednesday, saying the White House hadn’t reached out to any Democrats to consult on it. He said that the role of Stephen Miller, an avowed immigration hardliner who is also a senior advisor to Trump, would doom the effort.
