McConnell says Senate will consider immigration deal "as soon as we figure out" what Trump supports
See BS ^ | January 17, 2017 | Rebecca Shabad

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday seemed to admit that President Trump has not yet clearly indicated what needs to be in an immigration bill that he would sign.

CBS News' Nancy Cordes asked the Kentucky Republican how the GOP leadership's immigration agreement is likely to be different from a deal struck by a bipartisan group of senators last week.

"I'm looking for something that President Trump supports, and he's not yet indicated what measure he's willing to sign," he said. "As soon as we figure out what he is for, then I would be convinced that we are not just spinning our wheels to this issue on the floor, but actually dealing with a bill that has a chance to become law and therefore solve the problem."

McConnell is so dishonest he's willing to look like a complete nitwit with this response. How about you get off your high horse and start asking what the President wants. My guess is he's already told by Trump a dozen times, but if in doubt just go with his campaign promises. Even I know what those are.

McConnell, like all Bush League Republicans, wants amnesty for the illegal aliens and their employers.

It is pretty simple.

Trump wants a wall.

The rest of it is negotiable.

“actually dealing with a bill that has a chance to become law and therefore solve the problem.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only solution is amnesty according to the Bush League Republicans.

When you have turtle arms, you avoid picking up the tab. It's what you do.

Did McScrotum ever put up this much resistance to barry soetoro? /rhet

They gave the marxist muslim regime everything they wanted. 10 trillion dollars extra even...Let them run roughshod over America and the Constitution for 8 years and this piece of living sh!t has the gall to burp & feign ignorance over what Trump wants. What the voters that put him in office want...Staggering.

No chain migration, no public assistance, and no amnesty. I think the wall is a complete waste of time and money. Landmines are far cheaper and much more effective. Many countries in the world defend their borders with landmines, seriously armed sentry towers, drones, and all manner of deadly means.

F A S T - before they shut the construction down somehow. Trump already conceded ground on this by signing Obama's last budget, which he didn't have to. This budget was where the wall was supposed to be funded, and this turkey knows it. He's just trying to spin it to claim that the process failed because Trump supposedly wasn't clear in what he wanted, which anyone knows is obvious BS.

That's such horse $hit, and McConnell knows it!! He knows that his merry band of senate do-nothings will f$ck up whatever bill comes before them, so he's preemptively putting the blame on the president.

What a lyin', stinkin' piece of shite!

Throw all illegals out.
Build the wall.
No chain immigration.
Immigrants only from non-shithole countries
No immigration lotteries.
No anchor babies.
No voting rights for non-citizens.
No welfare for non-citizens.
No admittance to uneducated, disease ridden people.

Did I miss anything? I think Trump would sign that.

There are multiple amnesty bills introduced.
Trump won’t sign on to any of them and that’s the problem.
This Senate will only produce bills which benefit illegal aliens and their employers.
We need more Senators who side with the citizens and the rule of law.
