Photo: ReutersWashington: US President Donald Trump’s wall is no longer the biggest divide between Democrats and Republicans on immigration. Family green cards are limited to spouses and minor children in the Trump administration framework and in legislation led by Republican House Judiciary chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia. It’s a sea change from past immigration debates in 2013 and 2007, when Democrats and Republicans were largely united in favour of legal immigration. Graham is sceptical whether Democrats will agree to major legal immigration cuts as part of a Daca deal. Democrats won’t give the GOP “all we want on border, merit-based immigration, and the end of family immigration based on Daca,” he said.
