The former ambassador of USA before the UN Nikki Haleycandidate for the Republican presidential nomination, criticized the former president this Sunday donald trump for trying to sabotage negotiations in Congress to change the asylum system and strengthen the border.
“The last thing Trump should say is that we have to wait until after the election to approve a border agreement. “We can’t wait another day.” Haley said during an interview on NBC.
For weeks, Democratic and Republican senators have been negotiating an immigration bill that would include many of the conservatives’ requests to make it easier to deport migrants and hinder asylum applications.
The text of the legislative project is not yet public, but senators have said they hope to release it within the next week.
The Senate, under Democratic control, has shown itself willing to approve the project and the US president, Joe Biden, has said that he would be willing to sign it.
However, the Republicans in the Lower House, where they hold the majority, have already expressed their rejection and, in addition, Trump has asked them to reject any compromise with the Democrats.
At a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, Trump reiterated his calls for House Republicans to reject any legislation unless it meets all the requirements of the party’s toughest faction, which he himself leads.
“Please blame me, please, because you are about to pass a very bad bill. I’d rather have no bill than have a bad one.“Trump said in Las Vegas.
The former president, favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination, has made it clear that he wants to use migration to attack Biden ahead of the November elections.
For her part, Haley is trying to position herself as a more reasonable alternative to Trump, embodying the traditional soul of the party just before the former president’s emergence.
To that end, Haley is focusing her efforts on South Carolina, where she was governor from 2011 to 2017, and where she hopes to revitalize her candidacy.
However, currently it only has the 25% of voting intentions in that state, while Trump holds the fifty%according to the latest surveys.
In an attempt to close that gap, the candidate held two rallies this weekend in South Carolina, one in the town of Mauldin on Saturday and another in Conway this Sunday.
