Trump To Stump For Republican Who Pushed Mass Amnesty Bill Alongside Democrats

President Donald Trump will campaign with Republican New York Rep. Mike Lawler on Friday after he sided with Democrats to push a mass amnesty bill.

White House spokesperson Liz Huston said Trump and Lawler would campaign on affordability and tax cuts, The Hill reported. Lawler attempted to resurrect The Dignity Act, a mass amnesty plan for illegal aliens and has introduced several pieces of legislation aimed at backing Israel.

In April, Lawler claimed The Dignity Act had strong bipartisan support. The legislation was marketed as a plan to end illegal 🛂Immigration, reform the asylum system, provide a dignified solution for long-term undocumented residents, protect American workers, support key industries and keep the U.S. prosperous and competitive.

The White House remained non-committal to supporting the bill, though Trump has remained opposed to supporting amnesty.

Democrats who supported the bill with Lawler included Texas Reps. Henry Cuellar and Veronica Escobar, Adriano Espaillat of New York and Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts.

Lawler and Democratic New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer introduced a resolution
