The President said it is ‘absolutely vital” to work with the Democrats. He wants bipartisan immigration legislation. He said, “This should be a bill of love. Truly, it should be a bill of love and we can do that.”
Additionally, Trump made it clear that the bill should include funding for border security. According to him, “But it also has to be a bill where we are able to secure our border.” He reiterated his position on building a border wall and providing border security and immigration agents the equipment they need. He believes that the lawmakers agree that the country needs a strong border security.
Furthermore, the President said, “I think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up with. I am very much reliant on the people in this room. What I approve is going to be very much reliant on what the people in this room come to me with.”
According to the White House, the lawmakers in the meeting agreed to limit the scope of the negotiations. They will focus in border security, DACA bill, family-based chain migration, and the visa lottery program.
