Trump says he 'wouldn't sign' GOP leaders' immigration bill

President Trump seemed to undercut House GOP leaders’ new immigration bill Friday, suggesting in an interview that he “certainly wouldn’t sign” it if it reached his desk.

Mr. Trump, interviewed on the “Fox & Friends” morning program, was asked about the two bills GOP leaders will put up for votes next week. One is an enforcement-focused bill by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, while the other is a compromise overseen by the party leaders, which combines an amnesty for some illegal immigrants with major changes to enforcement and pathways for legal immigration.

“I’m looking at both of them. I certainly wouldn’t sign the more moderate one,” Mr. Trump said.

“I need a bill that gives this country tremendous border security. I have to have that,” he said.

Mr. Trump said Friday that includes ending the “catch-and-release” of illegal immigrants.

“We catch a criminal, a real criminal, a rough, tough, criminal, we take his name and then we release him, and we say, ‘Please show up to court in a couple of months,’ ” Mr. Trump said. “You know what the chances of getting him to court are? Like zero.”

If Trump hangs tough on this issue and manages to secure the border & achieves real permanent reforms to the ludicrous chain migration & refugee scams, but accomplishes not a single other thing, his presidency will have been a enormous success for the nation.

If he pulls it off he'll have to do it without the help of most of the friggen' GOP.

It's funny how the GOP pretends it can pass anything.

Good for President Trump!!  He needs to stand his ground on this.  This is what got him elected.  Lord only knows the RINO's and liberal leftists mental midgets aren't going to help him with this.  Hopefully, they'll get the message that he's sending them.  Secondly, Congress would be wise to follow his lead; mid terms are just around the corner.
