Dems Reject Trump's New Demand Of $1B Immigration 'Slush Fund' To Avert Shutdown

So much for a deal.

President Trump’s new proposal for avoiding a government shutdown turned out to be a demand for a $1 billion “slush fund” for immigration enforcement rather than a request for wall funding, congressional Democrats said Tuesday afternoon. They rejected that out of hand.


“We cannot accept the offer they made of a billion-dollar slush fund for the President to implement his very wrong immigration policies,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters as she exited a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

Pelosi said the White House “has backed off the wall, that terminology, but what they’d want to do with that $1 billion is problematic.”

It all ended up with friends and probably some ended up in his pocket.

Then he can fund it out of his illegal Trump Foundation slush fund.
