Kobach: At Least '3 Poison Pills' in Compromise Bill

There are at least "three poison pills" contained in the government funding compromise bill that would justify President Donald Trump vetoing it, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach claimed Thursday.

"The biggest one is when it says $1.375 billion" for border security, Kobach told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "If it says no more than, or only $1.375 billion, that would take away the president's authority that exists in other laws to spend defense department money."

Another "poison pill" could occur when it's known that Democrats have been saying they want to redefine asylum with immigrants, said Kobach, as Democrats want the rules to say that people who suffer from domestic or gang violence, that "qualifies you for asylum."
