To that end, should 11 million immigrants be worried Trump is going to throw them out of the country upon taking office? According to Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan C.E.O. and chairman of the Business Roundtable, which is advising Trump on business policy the answer is no, don’t be silly.
“Look, we’re not going to kick 11 million people out. President-elect Trump is different from candidate Trump. He’s now said that if you break the law, we’re going to deport you. Of the 11 million undocumented, only 800,000 are estimated to have broken the law. By the way, that is the current policy of the United States. President Obama deported 2.8 million people for breaking the law. The BRT supports immigration. It is a pro-jobs argument.”

Jamie Dimon, the chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase and one of the most influential links between Washington and Wall Street, will become chairman next year of Business Roundtable, one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in the country.
Dimon is a self-described Democrat and a member of President-elect Donald Trump's economic advisory team. He was floated as a possible pick for treasury secretary before Trump announced his intention to nominate Steven Mnuchin for the job

John Engler, a former Republican governor of Michigan who is the president of the Roundtable, praised Dimon's focus on policies that business groups say would speed economic growth, including points of disagreement with Trump. “He's an influential voice and strong advocate for immigration reform,” Engler said, “which we still think is possible.”
