Flake: Gop Lawmakers and President

flake: Right now, it's tough to see, Sen, according to Metro News. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said Thursday about whether any proposals will get the 60 GOP and Democratic votes needed to survive. I don't know. Flake told reporters he thinks President Donald Trump sees a political downside of not fixing the problem of Dreamers, younger immigrants whose protections against deportation the president is ending. Flake recounted what Trump privately told GOP lawmakers after a White House meeting the president had with Congress' two top Democrats, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. But he says Trump is only willing to go so far because of his conservative base. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
