Not meant to hijack the other thread that reports about this, but thought it'd be important to some of you to read the full text of what President Trump said today at the conference:

QUESTION: … countries? And in addition, on the DACA program for immigration.

TRUMP: Right.

QUESTION: What is your plan, do you plan to continue that program or to end it?
"We're gonna show great heart, DACA is a very, very difficult subject for me, I will tell you. To me, it's one of the most difficult subjects I have because you have these incredible kids.

In many cases, not in all cases. And some of the cases, having DACA, and they're gang members, and they're drug dealers, too. But you have some absolutely, incredible kids, I would say mostly. They were brought here in such a way — it's a very — it's a very, very tough subject.

We're gonna deal with DACA with heart. I have to deal with a lot of politicians, don't forget, and I have to convince them that what I'm saying is — is right. And I appreciate your understanding on that.

But the DACA situation is a very, very — it's a very difficult thing for me because you know, I love these kids, I love kids, I have kids and grandkids. And I find it very, very hard doing what the law says exactly to do, and you know, the law is rough.

I'm not talking about new laws, I'm talking the existing law, is very rough, it's very, very rough."

Have Durbin make a new dream act bill and introduce it, he wants a law passed to be signed.

Whenever I hear Trump talk about us as "kids", he describes us in a way that makes me conjure up an image of, literally, kids (infants, teenagers).

Yes, but at the end of the day that is exactly how we were when we were BROUGHT to this country, isn't it? That's why is such a privilege to be covered under DACA. Like I am 28 and being referred to as a wonderful "kid" by the most asshole president in history. That is just a beautiful thing, as the crazy man would say.

Here is key words guys, I got felling they gonna cancel DACA. i think Jeff Session is goona take over DACA.

Trump: I find it very, very hard doing what the law says exactly to do, and you know, the law is rough.

I'm not talking about new laws, I'm talking the existing law, is very rough, it's very, very rough."

Kelly takes orders from Trump not from Sessions.
