Yesterday I explained why the pending border bill drawn up by Nancy Pelosi's House Democrats should be considered dead on arrival.
Word out of the White House has it that Trump is already threatening to veto it if they manage to put it on his desk.
The White House is threatening to veto a $4.5 billion House bill aimed at improving the treatment of migrant families detained after crossing the U.S. southern border, saying the measure would hamstring the administration's border security efforts and raising fresh questions about the legislation's fate.
Officials also complained in the letter that the bill had no money to toughen border security, including funds for building Trump's proposed border wall.
"Because this bill does not provide adequate funding to meet the current crisis, and because it contains partisan provisions designed to hamstring the Administration's border enforcement efforts, the Administration opposes its passage," the letter said.
Not mentioned in the letter from the White House is the poison pill buried in the House bill that instructs the government to advertise to all migrants that if they bring a child with them they will be immune from immigration enforcement action.
All of the measures in the bill are focused on improving conditions for illegal aliens crossing the border and being detained.
