The White House press secretary complained simultaneously that House Democrats has not acted to help undocumented kids.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed on Thursday that House Democrats have done nothing to help Dreamers — undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children — while simultaneously admitting that President Donald Trump’s own immigration plan offered them zero protections.
In a rare CNN appearance, Sanders echoed Trump’s claim a day earlier that it would be impossible for Congress to both pass legislation on the issue and carry out their constitutionally required oversight role — investigating potential wrongdoing by the president — at the same time.
“Democrats have been unwilling to work with him,” Sanders claimed. “We’ve laid out a number of plans. You say that the Democrats want to fix the thing with Dreamers. They’ve done nothing. They’ve literally done nothing.”
