WASHINGTON—The White House on Thursday said it would veto any immigration legislation that included the amendment introduced by senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mike Rounds (D-S.D.), and Angus King (I-Maine).
“The administration strongly opposes passage of the Schumer-Rounds-Collins amendment,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. “This amendment would drastically change our national immigration policy for the worse by weakening border security and undercutting existing immigration law.”
