President of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) and member of President Donald Trump's Diversity Coalition, Javier Palomarez, said Wednesday that the White House will propose immigration reform in six months.

In an interview with the annual USHCC Legislative Summit in Washington, Palomarez explained that in about half a year the Trump government will make its proposal, which will determine the fate of the 11 million undocumented people currently living in the United States.

"It's hard for me to put a date for immigration reform, because in the end it's not my decision, but I think in the next 6 months or so we'll have something on the part of the White House to begin directing where we're going from Here with the undocumented, "said Trump Diversity Coalition member.

Palomarez, Texas's son of Mexicans, has repeatedly claimed the need for immigration reform and was critical of Trump in the election campaign until he joined his advisory team during the government transition following Trump's victory in the Past 8th of November.

The Hispanic leader, who is now working with the Trump team as an adviser on his immigration strategy, said that his view on this reform is based on an economic argument, although he acknowledged the social and civic aspect "so complicated and emotional."

"It is key to remember that immigrants have been a big part in building one of the largest economies in the world, and we should not forget that when we talk about immigration reform. So our job is to remind the White House of the importance of immigrants from an economic and commercial perspective, "he added.

However, Palomarez warned that the proposal of Trump will not be a "panacea" for anyone, as it will be a negotiation exercise between all parties to reach a solution in the "right direction."

"In the president we have a businessman (...). In the balance between politics, business, economics and political ideology will be the solution. I know it is expected (a solution) from a point of view of civil rights, but also economic and business, "he said.

The president of the USHCC did not specify the exact terminology and nomenclature that undocumented immigrants will receive after that reform, but emphasized the need to "get out of the shade" and live "free" in the country.

In addition, Palomarez was optimistic with the "very positive" attitude of the Government for the 750 thousand "dreamers", immigrants who arrived in an irregular way to the country of children and benefited from the DACA immigration program proclaimed in 2012 by the ex-President Barack Obama, Despite arrests in recent weeks.

Trump has recently acknowledged that tackling the situation of these young people "is one of the most difficult issues" of the migratory problem and has promised to face it "with heart."
