White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday the immigration reform bill presented by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), and Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) would be "dead on arrival."
Sanders said the bipartisan bill, which has also received support from Sen. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.), does not meet President Donald Trump’s benchmarks on border security or reforming the larger immigration system. The White House previously criticized the bill for providing little to improve border security and allowing chain migration and the visa lottery system to continue, and Sanders said she wanted to "leave no doubt" about Trump's expectations.
