"A guest worker bill would acknowledge that they're here," the Texas Republican told CNN's "New Day" program about the DACA program, which was enacted through policy memorandum in 2012 by former President Barack Obama, not through legislation.

"While it's not the whole loaf, it's more than half a loaf," Sessions continued. "To move them directly into our workplace, directly into a status where they have an opportunity to make wages, pay taxes, and to have a legal status as a guest worker, I think that's the minimum that we should do. That gives opportunity for people who today are without any opportunity and that's where I believe we should start."

Sessions said he does believe there are enough votes in the House to pass a guest worker's bill, if the matter is handled "creatively and smart."

"We've got to work with the White House," said Sessions. "Our party and members of the House are prepared and I think ready for this."
