Border Protections: Society Comments and Immigration Policies

border protections: The White House did not deny his remark but issued a statement saying Trump supports immigration policies that welcome those who can contribute to our society, according to Metro News. Trump's comments came as two senators presented details of a bipartisan compromise that would extend protections against deportation for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants and also strengthen border protections, as Trump has insisted. Trump's contemptuous description of an entire continent startled lawmakers in the meeting and immediately revived charges that the president is racist. The lawmakers had hoped Trump would back their accord, an agreement among six senators evenly split among Republicans and Democrats, ending a months-long, bitter dispute over protecting the Dreamers. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate' s No. 2 Democrat, explained that as part of that deal, a lottery for visas that has benefited people from Africa and other nations would be ended, the sources said, though there could be another way for them to apply. But the White House later rejected it, plunging the issue back into uncertainty just eight days before a deadline that threatens a government shutdown. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
