Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally of Arizona said a clean Dream Act is not happening, during an interview with Fox News.
On Monday, McSally also noted that the Democrats seemed to be not negotiating in good faith on immigration. She said they should stop pushing for a clean Dream Act.
According to McSally, President Donald Trump was clear about his position on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He wants to find a legislative solution on the issue. However, it must include a strong border security, ending chain migration and the visa lottery program.
McSally said, “There’s no such thing as doing a clean Dream Act. The Democrats need to get over it. It’s not happening. We in our bill have come up with the president’s priorities, the American people’s priorities, and that should be a starting place for these negotiations.”
Last week, McSally together with her fellow Republican Representatives Michael McCaul, Bob Goodlatte, and Raul Labrador introduced a border security and immigration bill.
