President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to work with Democrats to work out a deal on how to protect some illegal immigrants protected by a 2012 Obama-era order from deportation.
President-elect Donald Trump says that he wants to work with Democrats on a 'plan' to help illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under an Obama-era order -- echoing a similar push he attempted in 2019. Trump was asked in an interview with NBC News on Sunday about 'dreamers,' an activist-preferred term for illegal immigrants who arrived as children, and whether they would be included in his plan for mass deportations.
will work with the Democrats on a plan, and if we can come up with a plan, but the Democrats have made it very, very difficult to do anything. Republicans are very open to the Dreamers. The Dreamers, we're talking many years ago. They were brought into this country many years ago, some of them are no longer young people, and in many cases, they become successful,' Trump continued. 'They have great jobs. In some cases, they have small businesses.
Trump has promised to launch a mass deportation campaign when he enters office in January, where he will also have a Republican House and Senate. Ahead of that, some Democrats have been calling on President Biden to extend existing protections for some illegal immigrants -- including DACA recipients. Immigration activists were unimpressed by Trump’s comments.
