President Donald Trump told House Republicans that he hoped they would pass legislation funding the completion of the border wall and stepped up deportation efforts as part of an ambitious agenda that includes extending his signature tax cuts and enabling more oil and gas production.
“I’m looking forward to working with Congress on a reconciliation bill that financially takes care of our plans to totally and permanently restore the sovereign borders of the United States once and for all,” Trump said Monday as he addressed GOP lawmakers gathered at his Doral resort in Miami.
