“During the campaign, he said, ‘Let’s secure the border, let’s deport the criminal element and then we will deal in a compassionate way typical of the way America has treated people in the past, ‘” the NY lawmaker told Camerota. But Democrats never sent that bill to the Republican-controlled House.
“The president’s address tonight was heavy on vague platitudes but light on specific policy”. But Republicans are hopeful.
In his speech accepting the Republican nomination in Cleveland in July, Trump emphasized a long-running theme of his candidacy: a rejection of an approach to governing that steered American interests through an increasingly interconnected global order.
Sanders also talked about the issues that he said Trump doesn’t want the American people to know, and urged Americans affected by the health care act to “keep showing up, keep calling Congress and continue the fight”. Less than 24 hours earlier, he’d blamed former President Barack Obama for town hall protests and security leaks and called House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi “incompetent” in a Fox News interview. It was not immediately clear whether he was singling out Pelosi or someone else. I’m absolutely cautious about Trump’s administration, as we all should be.

Tax reform is a key issue for many in the business world. But the immigrants themselves have been left with a horrifying experience: Their lives hang in the balance, and their own perceptions about their futures change as the president speaks.
“We must support the victims of crime”, he said.
The comments drew mixed reaction from the gathered lawmakers. He also has instructed the Department of Homeland Security to round up and deport illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes or caused violence. This is the immigration pathway Trump has in his crosshairs. “Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity”.
Trump laid out five principles for a health care overhaul.
As Carryn Owens stood next to Ivanka Trump, tears streaming down her face, the assembled crowd heartily applauded her monumental sacrifice.

The Associated Press: “President Donald Trump’s new immigration order will remove Iraq from the list of countries whose citizens face a temporary U.S.travel ban, USA officials say, citing the latest draft in circulation”.
