Stop wasting time on immigration: Trump tells Republican Party leaders

Expressing frustration over what he described as "obstruction" of the Democrats, US President Donald Trump on Friday asked his Republican party leaders to stop wasting time on immigration legislation until after November elections. Trump directed his administration to keep illegal immigrant families together during the immigration process, after he backed down on the controversial migrant family separations policy.

"Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November," Trump said.
