You criticize Trump's trade policies, his immigration policies and the travel ban--things he did unilaterally. How do you turn your prescriptions into action?
On immigration we're gonna have to deal with it in Congress. I hope to expand [the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program]. These kids ought to be protected. Every piece of immigration legislation that I've supported has included a version of the Dream Act. The Administration wants to cut back significantly on legal immigration, and I don't think that's wise. And then the refugee program. We ought to continue to be welcoming to at least some refugees. We've taken a far smaller number than some of our allies. We obviously screen and screen well, but we ought to continue to be a welcoming nation.
