President Trump: “Dreamers Should Feel Safe”
Quote:
President Trump threatened in an interview this week to strip some naturalized immigrants of their citizenship, defended an ICE agent who killed a woman in Minneapolis and offered no regrets over officers’ aggressive tactics against immigrants, protesters and American citizens.<br />
But the president at times sought to soften his harsh, anti-immigrant image, as he has done at times. When asked if he would support a plan that includes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, Mr. Trump said “possibly, possibly.”
He said so-called Dreamers, who were brought to the United States as children, should feel “safe” in the country and that he would “love to be able to do something for them.”
“I’d love to have a comprehensive immigration policy. Something that really worked. It’s about time for the country,” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump also said he would provide an update on his plans for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, in about a year.
“They should feel safe,” said Mr. Trump, who during his first term tried to wipe it out.
