Senate Rejects Trump’s Immigration Plan<br />WASHINGTON — In a stern rebuke to President Trump, the Senate on Thursday decisively rejected a White House rewrite of the nation’s immigration laws<br />that would have bolstered border security, placed strict new limits on legal migration and resolved the fate of the so-called Dreamers.<br />But the rejection of the president’s plan was bipartisan: Democrats refused its get-tough approach to legal immigration, while many conservative<br />Republicans opposed its pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.<br />It would also have provided $25 billion for the border wall the president has proposed building at the southern border,<br />as well as a path to citizenship for 1.8 million young immigrants who were brought to this country as children.<br />The measure by Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, was patterned after one<br />that the White House proposed, but the 39-60 vote was 21 votes short of the 60 votes required for the Senate to consider it.
