Wa/Post: House Democrats are pushing an up-or-down vote on a bill that
would grant eligible dreamers legal status in the United States and set
many of them on a path to U.S. citizenship. But they have so far failed
to persuade enough Republicans to join them in using procedural tactics
to force a vote on the legislation.
On Monday, Pelosi dismissed the fresh immigration policy ideas
unveiled by the White House. Based on documents released Sunday night,
the Trump administration is demanding full construction of a wall along
the U.S.-Mexico border, restrictions on legal immigration and a plan to
curb young migrants from leaving Central American nations to cross
illegally into the United States. The new proposals came after Trump
last month decided to end DACA and gave Congress six months to pass a
solution he could sign into law. […]
Pelosi said that the administration’s new plan is “un-American” and
that “there’s nothing in it to negotiate because it does not have shared
values of who we are as Americans. As long as we understand that, let’s
go on with what we can agree on.”
