Days after the midterm election losses, Trump acknowledged during an interview on 60 Minutes filmed on Friday that his Administration’s mass deportation policies might be “too tough.” “Let the people that are here, and in some cases, here for 10 and 15 years—work a deal for them,” Trump says.
The prospects of Trump agreeing to an immigration deal drew wariness from both parties. Democrats were especially circumspect at Trump’s gentler tone days after tapping Stephen Miller, the architect of the Administration's immigration agenda, as his new White House Chief of Staff.
The crop of newly elected Democrats to Congress include many who campaigned against Trump’s immigration policies, specifically raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democratic Socialist Claire Valdez, who just won a House seat in New York representing part of Brooklyn, said at a press conference on Sunday that congressional Democrats “have a mandate” to abolish ICE.
“We can begin by moving in the House, and ultimately in the Senate, the Dream and Promise Act in order to restore protection for DACA recipients and TPS recipients. And that should be a foundation for more broader work that can be done together,” Jeffries explained, adding that reforming ICE and ending mass deportation would also be a part of the discussion.
Mullin stressed that the administration would not support a blanket amnesty program, but was open to movement on programs that cover hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the country such as DACA. “If we want to have an immigration reform where we can look at DACA, and figure out a way that these individuals can become, maybe, legal permanent citizens…that’ll be up to Congress to do that. I’ll be open to talk to anything,” Mullin said, according to multiple outlets.
“It doesn’t seem like there is anything to work with him on at the moment but that may change next year,” the source adds.
Trump’s history with immigration reformDuring his State of the Union address in 2018, Trump proposed a framework to congressional Republicans to pass legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 1.8 million people eligible for recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. But the measure was viewed as a half-hearted measure by Trump, who acknowledged it lacked the votes in the Senate. The legislation ultimately failed to pass the House, with 112 Republican members joining all House Democrats in opposing the bill.
“The rule of thumb in Washington is always to take Donald Trump seriously, but never take him literally,” says Arthur.
