Trump calls on Dems to pass immigration laws: ‘Don’t RESIST’

President Trump demanded on Sunday that Democrats “fix” immigration laws in the U.S. and pass laws to tighten the southern border.

“Don’t RESIST. We are doing a far better job than Bush and Obama, but we need strength and security at the Border!” Trump tweeted. “Cannot accept all of the people trying to break into our Country. Strong Borders, No Crime!”

Democrats, fix the laws. Don’t RESIST. We are doing a far better job than Bush and Obama, but we need strength and security at the Border! Cannot accept all of the people trying to break into our Country. Strong Borders, No Crime!

{mosads}House Republicans are attempting to pass a compromise immigration bill this week after a hard-line measure failed to clear the House on Thursday.

However, Trump tweeted on Friday that GOP lawmakers were “wasting their time” on immigration and that Congress should drop the issue until after the 2018 midterms.

Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November. 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!

Trump has overseen an aggressive crackdown on immigration since taking office.

His administration implemented a “zero tolerance” policy earlier this year, requiring that all immigrants apprehended for illegally entering the U.S. be prosecuted.

The policy led to thousands of migrant families being separated, sparking bipartisan backlash over the issue. The president, in a rare reversal, signed an executive order last week ending family separations to ease criticism on his administration for the policy.

Trump initially claimed that he could not end the policy and attempted to shift blame onto Democrats.
