Trump tells Republicans to 'stop wasting their time' on immigration

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Friday told Republican lawmakers to "stop wasting their time" on immigration legislation, even as the House grapples to reach a compromise.

"Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November," the president wrote on Twitter. "Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!"

The tweet comes after the House rejected a hardline immigration bill and Republican leaders delayed the vote on a separate, more moderate bill to next week.

"Elect more Republicans in November and we will pass the finest, fairest and most comprehensive Immigration Bills anywhere in the world," Trump said Friday.

until he and Kirsten called republicans to pull their support. His plan was/is to make it an issue for the election. He has no intention to support any immigration bill.

He doesn't care about a real negotiation, has no idea whatsoever how they are done because he has no give in him. it's all take, take ,take and hurt others. He thinks threats are negotiations, but they are not and he's a stupid fool and the only reason we are even having to deal with the orange malevolent buffoon is because his daddy was rich. Hes done nothing on his own and never could or would except to fuck up and lose.

There already is a Red Wave of anger at Trump Republicons, but much great work by Democrats will turn it into a Blue Wave.
