W.H.: Flake-Graham-Durbin Legislation Is ‘Totally Unacceptable’ to Trump

‘In short, it’s totally unacceptable to the president and should be declared dead on arrival’

EXCERPT:

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "I’d like to leave no doubted where the White House stands on the Flake, Graham and Durbin agreement on immigration reform. In a bipartisan meeting, here at the White House, two weeks ago, we outlined a path forward on four issues; serious border security and end to chain migration, the cancellation of the outdated and unsafe visa lottery and a permanent solution to DACA. Unfortunately, the Flake-Graham-Durbin agreement does not meet these benchmarks. In fact, it would not secure our border, encourage more illegal immigration, increase chain migration and retain the visa lottery system. In short, it’s totally unacceptable to the president and should be declared dead on arrival. The president has been extraordinarily consistent on the immigration and what his priorities are. His views are shared by the vast majority of the American people and have bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives."
