White House Says Trump Will Sign GOP Immigration Bill
Summary from the AllSides News Team
The White House said Friday evening that President Trump will support the GOP leadership's upcoming immigration bill as well as a more enforcement-heavy conservative immigration bill. This announcement came after some confusion earlier in the day about whether the president would support the bill. The bill includes policies that President Trump has expressed as vital such as a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients and an end to "chain migration."
