Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho)

The only immigration bill Democrats will support is one that has “weak security and a lot of amnesty,” Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) said Monday.

Appearing on Fox’s America’s Newsroom, Rep. Labrador discussed a possible deal on immigration, commenting on Democrats’ opposition to any bills that are proposed. While Democrats claim they support border security, in reality, they won’t vote for anything - except a bill that has “weak security and a lot of amnesty,” Rep. Labrador said:

“They claim they want border security, but any time we have a bill in the House that includes border security that at the same time we’re doing something for the DACA population, they’re unwilling to sign off on it. “The only thing they want to sign onto is a bill that has weak security and a lot of amnesty and Republicans are not going to sign up for that.”

Asked about President Donald Trump’s claim that Democrats don’t want border security, Rep. Labrador agreed that “They don’t,” noting Democrats’ recent calls to abolish U.S. Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and their support for catch-and-release policies enabling illegal immigrants to roam free in the U.S. pending their trials:
