Trump said Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and “even very conservative members of Congress” want to take care of so-called Dreamers.

“Chuck and Nancy would like to see something happen, and so do I,” the president said. “And I said if we can get something to happen, we’re going to sign it and we’re going to make a lot of happy people.”


Asked what he meant about revisiting the issue in six months, Trump said: “We’re going to see what happens. I want to see what happens in Congress.”

“I have a feeling that’s not going to be necessary,” he added. “I think they’re going to make a deal. I think Congress really wants to do this.”


And when pressed about whether a pathway to citizenship for those undocumented immigrants is an option, Trump demurred.

“That’s going to be discussed later, but we want to talk about legal right now,” he said. “We haven’t discussed that."

“I’d like to see something where we have good border security, and we have a great DACA transaction where everybody is happy and now they don’t have to worry about it anymore,” Trump said. “I’d like to see a permanent deal, and I think it’s going to happen. I think we’re going to have great support from both sides of Congress, and I really believe that Congress is going to work very hard on the DACA agreement and come up with something.”
