Negotiators spent last week seeking a solution that would shield young immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children, including the roughly 800,000 who secured work permits under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program created under President Barack Obama. But a tentative deal worked out Thursday by a small bipartisan group of senators crumbled in an Oval Office meeting in which, according to multiple people involved, an angry Trump asked them why the United States should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” such as Haiti, El Salvador and African nations over those from European countries such as Norway. [Trump, condemned for ‘shithole’ countries remark, denies comment but acknowledges ‘tough’ language] A pair of GOP senators — Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia — who attended the meeting and previously said they could not recall the use of the vulgar phrase denied outright on Sunday that Trump had ever said it. That prompted Democrats to accuse them of impugning a fellow senator’s credibility, a development that could further poison the bipartisan talks. I love it. Prospects for a bipartisan agreement to protect young immigrants from deportation and prevent a government shutdown later this week faded Sunday as key lawmakers traded accusations of bad faith and President Trump said hopes for a deal were “probably dead.”

Please ping me when President Trump uses the DACA enrollment lists to deport the illegal alien invaders. Or any other illegal alien invaders. That presumes the senator had some to start with.
It passes if every republican even Flake and that queer from SC vote for it.
Perhaps, but doubtful "...that queer from SC..." you're referring to Lindsey Graham - right? I didn't know he was gay, I guess you have first-hand knowledge, right? "we are tartets from evil doers!!!" [ and ] U looked up birfer on the dcitionary. It isn't a movie. "Listen piece of shit. Call me anti American again and your're banned. I don't like you." - aka stoned -
