Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said Sunday he believes President Trump wants to reach a solution for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, despite Trump’s reported comment questioning why the U.S. accepts immigrants from “shithole countries” like Haiti and African nations.

“I have no reason to doubt him, even today. Despite the blowup we had this past week, I do think he’s sincere, and I do think sincere people, with letting our better angles prevail, will come together with a solution,” Gardner said on “Face The Nation.”

Gardner called the president's "shithole countries" comment "unacceptable," but said it can't be allowed to "define this moment."

Trump announced last year that he would rescind DACA, an Obama-era program that allows certain immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children remain here to live and work without fear of deportation.

Last week, Trump hosted a bipartisan discussion on immigration reform, and called on those in attendance to craft a “bill of love” to solve the issue. He indicated he would sign whatever those in attendance submitted to him.

However, the White House pushed back on a bipartisan proposal late last week, and Trump has in recent days attacked Democrats for their role in DACA negotiations, claiming they don’t want to reach a deal.

Gardner on Sunday said most Democrats and Republicans he’s worked with on immigration are committed to finding a solution.

“I have no doubt that there are probably people on the Republican side of the aisle who may not want a solution on this, there are probably some on the Democratic side of the aisle who don’t want a solution on this. They’d rather have these things to fight about, to fight over,” Gardner said.

“Let the people who want to play politics, let them play politics. But that’s not what this moment is about,” Gardner added.

Trump wants DACA solved. That's why he keeps tweeting about us.

Add more money to the wall and remove the DV lottery.

You can’t remove the DV lottery. The black caucus would go nuts. That’s 40+ votes right there.

But chain migration and DV, trump complicated it, if he didn't have a boner for a wall, things would've been done by now.

Wall is for the president
Chain immigration + DV is for Sen Cotton and Sen Perdue and conservative republicans
DACA legalization is for Dems

I guess everyone is getting what they want so what is the issue?

I really do think it's that simple. No way Trump let's the government shutdown. Give him 3 billion in total and he'll sign it if it's on a spending bill.
