Chris McKenna reports at The Fray that Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) voted against a hard-line immigration bill June 21 that was defeated 231-193, with Democrats and 40 other Republicans voting against. House leaders then delayed a vote on a less conservative immigration proposal until next week. “For too many years and administrations, Washington has failed to address how to secure our borders while also ensuring our immigration policies are humane and address the real challenges our border enforcement officers face every day,” Faso said in a statement. “We need to improve border security, resolve the status of the DACA population and enact other reforms such as ending the diversity lottery and unlimited chain migration.” The president wondered why the Congresspeople were even bothering to vote. "Republicans should stop wasting their time on immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November," Donald Trump tweeted June 21. Read the full story at The Fray.
