Sen. Tom Cotton said on Wednesday that President Trump laid out two broad approaches to immigration reform in a meeting the previous day with 12 Republican senators. The Arkansas Republican said on "Fox & Friends" that the president described a policy that focuses on modernizing border security and calls for a merit-based system. “The first (approach) is immediate and urgent," Cotton said, "it’s addressing the crisis at our southern border where we had over 100,000 illegal border crossing apprehensions last month. And that's the direction the president wants to go as he said in the past, they laid out some broad principles yesterday. “We’ve been giving them a lot of money for a long time, they continue to come here” Cotton said in response.
