Trump advisers Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner briefed Senate Republicans on the broad outlines of an immigration plan.
WASHINGTON — Seeking to rally Republicans around a unified message on immigration ahead of the 2020 election, White House advisers Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner visited Capitol Hill Tuesday to brief Senate Republicans about the broad outlines of an immigration plan the two have drafted.
Immigration has dogged Congress for two decades, leaving some lawmakers skeptical that any plan offered by the administration could ever pass. The president and 18 Senate Republicans are running for re-election and those on the ballot are anxious to come up with an immigration policy they can coalesce behind in 2020.
“I think what was presented was a starting point for Republicans to say what we are for, not what we’re against. I think that’s really important is for all Americans to understand that we really are focused on immigration. We are ok with legal immigration and we need to modernize the way we do business,” Ernst, who is running for re-election next year, said.
Kushner and Miller’s ideas would change the Flores agreement to allow immigrant families to stay together in detention for longer than 20 days, allow non-Mexicans from being turned away at the border and allow people to apply for asylum from their home country.
