Bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus requests meeting with Trump on immigration, debt
The Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan coalition of House lawmakers that frequently works across the aisle, is requesting a meeting with President Trump to discuss immigration, permitting reform and the national debt.
Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), the co-chairs of the caucus, sent a letter Monday to Trump, focusing on the trio issues after the faction earlier this year set up working groups to address those and more. Almost 50 lawmakers signed the request.
“As the Co-Chairs of the Problem Solvers Caucus, we lead a bipartisan group of nearly 50 Members of the House of Representatives focused on finding common ground on the key issues facing our nation,” the pair wrote. “We meet regularly to discuss opportunities for bipartisan compromise and to develop legislation that both parties can agree on and vote for.”
“In that spirit, we are writing to request a meeting with you to discuss three issues where we see both the opportunity and the need for comprehensive bipartisan solutions: immigration, permitting reform, and the national debt,” they added.
