President Trump issued the following statement of support today
for Chairman Grassley’s immigration bill, which was just published and
is based on the White House Framework. In seeking responsible
immigration reform, the President urged senators to vote for the
Grassley bill and to oppose any legislation that violates the
Framework’s “four pillars,” and that thus fails to deliver safety,
security, and prosperity to the American People:
I want to thank Chairman Grassley for introducing legislation based
on the White House Immigration Reform and Border Security Framework. The
Grassley bill accomplishes the four pillars of the White House
Framework: a lasting solution on DACA, ending chain migration,
cancelling the visa lottery, and securing the border through building
the wall and closing legal loopholes.
I am asking all senators, in both
parties, to support the Grassley bill and to oppose any legislation
that fails to fulfill these four pillars – that includes opposing any
short-term “Band-Aid” approach. The overwhelming majority of American
voters support a plan that fulfills the Framework’s four pillars, which
move us towards the safe, modern, and lawful immigration system our
people deserve.
At the same time, I remain encouraged by developments in the House
toward advancing legislation from Chairmen Goodlatte and McCaul that
also enshrines our four pillars.
Now that our military is fully funded, and will be rebuilt stronger
than ever before, my focus is on enacting responsible and commonsense
immigration reform that delivers for the American People.
