WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement after meeting with President Trump, administration leaders, and fellow senators at the White House to discuss immigration:

“I am thankful for the opportunity to talk about this important issue with President Trump, Jared Kushner, and several of my colleagues. While there is a humanitarian crisis at the southern border that needs to be addressed, Republican economic policies have also helped foster a rocket ship economy that has created an immediate demand for highly skilled workers. I encouraged the administration to introduce a plan that secures the border and adopts a more merit-based approach to immigration.”
