The boy prince of New Jerseys immigration plan may have just been dealt a final death blow.
among the many tasks nepotism hire Jared Kushner thinks hes eminently qualified to handle, solving peace in the Middle East and overhauling U.S. immigration rank at the very top. We know how the Mideast is goinghis big plan has been called the Monty Python sketch of Israeli-Palestinian peace initiatives, and he recently tried to get Palestinian leadership on board by calling them hysterical and stupid. And, it turns out things are going about as smoothly for his immigration proposal, which the first son-in-law reportedly couldnt even explain as of May, and which seemingly died an unceremonious death on Tuesday thanks to one Donald Trump. Per the Washington Post:
As the uproar over President Trumps racist remarks demanding four minority Democratic lawmakers go back [to countries] from which they came continued to flare Tuesday, the White House prepared to roll out a plan that would detail the type of immigrants the administration wants to admit to the United States.
But the ongoing controversy over Trumps comments got in the way of the White Houses initial plans, as a late-afternoon meeting with a half-dozen congressional Republican leaders on the administrations new immigration bill was abruptly postponed amid an unexpectedly drawn-out fight on the floor of the House as lawmakers debated condemning Trumps racist tweets The White House did not indicate when or if the immigration briefing for the GOP leaders would be rescheduled.
Of course, the interruption to deal with Kushners racist father-in-lawwho, incidentally, Kushner insisted last month is not racist at allis far from the only hurdle the immigration plan is facing. Other stumbling blocks concern the fact that many lawmakers dont want to touch the plan with a 1,000-foot pole, which is generally considered an impediment to getting legislation passed. To get it to the floor, you have to have some bipartisan buy-in, Senate Majority Whip John Thune, the chambers second-ranking Republican, told the Post. There would have to be a lot of work that would get done, and I dont sense that theyre anywhere close to having done that work with Republicans, let alone with Democrats. In private, one GOP senator said: I dont think theres any chance that we have any bandwidth to do that, while a senior congressional aide commented that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell doesnt want to waste time on a bill that has little chance of accumulating the necessary 60 votes to advance in the Senate.
