Trump Dismissed CBC Demands During Immigration Meeting

During the now-infamous “shithole” meeting at the White House, WaPo reports that Donald Trump dismissed concerns and recommendations by the Congressional Black Caucus. According to people briefed on the meeting, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) told Trump that the CBC might be more open to a deal if other nations were included in the proposal. “Trump was curt and dismissive, saying he was not making immigration policy to cater to the CBC and did not particularly care about that bloc’s demands,” reports WaPo. They also report that attendees were alarmed by the racial undertones of Trump’s remarks and further disturbed about 45’s response to the CBC. Read more here.
