President Donald Trump is eager to pass an immigration bill, a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday.

The President is thinking about adding the topic to his speech tonight to a joint session of Congress, though either way an immigration bill remains a desire for his first term. The topic of enforcing current immigration laws is already in the speech, the official said.



The President believes that the nation is now in a position where it can pass immigration legislation, the senior administration official said, with the need to have “a softening on both sides. There’s got to be a coming together.”

A path to citizenship for those in the country illegally would not be part of Trump’s vision for this deal, with the possible exception of “Dreamers” — those brought into the US illegally as children. The President envisions a bill where those who haven’t committed any serious crimes could stay in the US legally, holding a job and paying taxes, without having to worry about being deported.

The President does not see the bill as something that would necessarily upset his base, since both sides would need to compromise.

“It has to be a negotiation,” the official said, arguing that the bill theoretically could make people on both the “far right” and “far left” happy.

“It could be good for everyone,” the senior administration official said. “People are exhausted” from debating the topic.

It is starting!

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Yeah right, you guys

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

I just saw this on CNN as well. Very happy this is hopefully happening. Wolf Blitzer came from interviewing Trump right at the White House

Buckle up buckaroos

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Make this happen Trump.

I swear it will make me life long Trumplican.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Saw it coming. Trump wants to be Reagan so bad.

So, LPR + Citizenship for DREAMERS, LPR with no path to citizenship for everyone else.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

Repost!

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

That don't make sense.

LPR means citizenship.

You must mean "something akin to DACA" for the rest.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

great. hopefully something good comes out of this.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Whoa what


Serious crimes ? Whoa are they going to tolerate lesser crimes ?

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Trump needs the goodwill of both sides so bad.

Both sides will jump on this.

Hopefully, Dems don't derail Trump's plan.

Dems very well might.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

WOW! i went home this weekend to Palm Springs and talked to a family friend (that donates huge amounts of money to the republican party) and she told me Trump told her he wanted to do this.... I obviously did not believe her but now I do...

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

It doesn't. LPR = Lawful Permanent Resident aka Green Card. Right now, After being a LPR for 5 years 3 (if you are married with U.S Citizen) you can apply for citizenship.

Trump and congress can create a different type of Green Card for the undocumented population and called it "Blue Card" or something? They will have the same rights as Green Card holders with the exception that they will never be able to become citizens (To keep them from voting, being one of the main reasons. I am sure)

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Yup Dems will ruin this for sure. They'll demand US citizenship for everybody. Nothing less.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Dems would be idiots not to take this!! Just say yeah, and when you have supermajority in congress again in 10 or 15 years just offer citizenship.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

I'm skeptical but let's see where this goes. At least he hasn't said he wants to shoot us...that's always a plus.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Yes...The first step is the hardest. If this passes, they can always add to it or tweak it later with a more friendly congress. I really hope the dems don't screw this up like Bernie did that other time.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

This. Law amendments are a thing.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

We might end up thanking Trump for our LPR/Citizenship, it's definitely an odd feeling.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

If so, I am ready to abandon the Democratic party. I only hung onto them because of their position on immigration. Trump is more in the position to pass whatever he wants than Hillary, who would have faced struggle just because of who she is and how hated she is on capitol hill.

My father was right.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

What about eDACA of 2014?

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

A wild Judas appears ...

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

Yes, please!
Si, per favore!
Si, por favor!
I have to say it in every language I know.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

NOW is the time to write friendly congressmen and senators.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Immigration bill that deports 11 million and keeps 750k. Trump is the best dealmaker.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

Dude, they are saying everyone without a criminal record...

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Clinton couldn't

Bush couldn't

Obama couldn't

Now is our best chance.

Citizenship for everyone: tried and failed. It will never work!

Work permit for non criminal undocs. LPR for DACA. +Strenghtening everywhere.

Only possible way.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

I am too so ready to jump ship from Dems/Liberals!

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

Yeah so did Bush and Obama does that mean each time we got a president you guys were switching from republican to democrat ?

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Dems will not work with Trump on this. That's a certainty. Nixon tried to pass single payer universal health care. Wanna guess who blocked Nixon? Yup you guessed it, the Democrats. Senator Ted Kennedy killed all efforts of Nixon. Every party not in the White House will always oppose the sitting President :(

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

Good thing Dems have no clout in Congress.

Re: Comprehensive immigration reform
 

At least it seems we are safe. Trump really will put us on the back burner.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

I was always a member of Dream Party.

Re: CNN Source: Trump would like to see compromise immigration bill
 

It no longer amazes me how quickly some will flip to achieve their objective..

It is called Human Nature.
