President threatens harsh immigration measures as he discusses Kushner plan with Republicans
President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened “harsh measures” if Democrats don’t go along with him on immigration, as he invited Senate Republicans to the White House to discuss a plan by senior adviser Jared Kushner.Trump tweeted that he wants Democrats to close the “terrible loopholes” at the U.S.-Mexico border and said if they didn’t, “harsh measures will have to be taken!”
“The President and Senators discussed a potential plan that would secure the border, protect and raise wages for the American worker, and move toward a merit based immigration system. President Trump wants a commonsense, lawful and safe immigration system that Americans, and those wanting to become Americans, have deserved for a long time,” said Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley.
Immigration is certain to be a key issue as Trump ramps up his re-election effort. The president has in the past hammered the U.S. asylum system as a loophole that draws undocumented immigrants to the country. Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, David Perdue of Georgia and others attended the White House meeting.The White House said Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in discussed “recent developments” in North Korea, a reference to a missile test over the weekend by Pyongyang.
