Senator Schumer Calls President's Immigration Plan an "Insult"

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer takes to the Senate floor to criticize President Trump's new immigration merit-based plan, calling it an "insult to our grand tradition of welcoming immigrants from all walks of life." Senator Schumer says the proposal "isn't a serious attempt at immigration reform. If anything, it is a political document that is anti-immigration reform." The measure, he says, fails to address the plight of so-called DACA recipients and lacks support on Capitol Hill. close
