WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two Democratic lawmakers said White House chief of staff John Kelly offered no legislative solutions to protect people brought to the United States illegally as children in a meeting on Wednesday with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Democratic Senator Bob Menendez told Reuters the White House is making unacceptable demands on immigration measures related to “Dreamer” protections. Luis Gutierrez, a Democratic congressman, said the caucus’ meeting with Kelly was positive but he offered no solution to the immigration standoff.

1. People make too much of the fact that Kelly appears sane.

It obviously makes him significantly better when compared to Trump, but it also minimizes the fact that he a full blown teabagger on a lot of issues, particularly immigration.

2. Kelly is a hardcore fascist and a brutal racist.

He is no friend of Democrats or democracy or the Constitution

3. Kelly is a fucking racist.. full out!

No secret here. Even disrespects the families of African American soldiers.

4. All the fan fair about Kelly being a man of morals, integrity and

would be a positive influence on the fake prez is and has been BS! It was like Ivanka claiming to be a positive influence on her Big Daddy and fight for women's and children's rights. LIARS to the core...all of them.

5. UPDATE: Kelly calls some of Trumps campaign pledges on immigration, wall uninformed,

Washington Post

White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly told Democratic lawmakers Wednesday that the United States will never construct a physical wall along the entire stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border and that some of President Trump’s campaign promises on immigration were “uninformed.”

The comments put Kelly at odds with Trump, who repeatedly said during his presidential campaign that he would build a border wall that Mexico would pay for, not U.S. taxpayers.

Kelly met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), who chairs the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, at the U.S. Capitol in his fourth formal face-to-face encounter with Hispanic lawmakers, who have been deeply critical of Trump’s position on immigration policy.
