Trump: 'We’re going to work something out' with Dreamers

Deport them! Deport them all! What? I won? Well, maybe you can stay.

Indeed, Trump seems to be softening, his hard line stance regarding illegal immigration saying that he will "work something out" with some of them, which I assume to mean they get to stay.

Boy, someone may want to tell Trump's future AG about this.

However for a guy that said he was going to deport all illegals, while some may get to come back, and build a wall, he sure seems to be saying some very nice things about some illegals.

I must say I am rather disappointed in Mr. Trump, and shocked that he seems to be veritably abandoning his previous positions and his core support.

Donald Trump is adopting a softer tone on young undocumented immigrants granted work permits through an Obama-era directive that the president-elect has vowed to repeal once he's in the White House.

Some 740,000 so-called Dreamers have been given a deportation reprieve and other benefits by President Barack Obama through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which Obama enacted by executive action in 2012. But the status of those young immigrants, who do not have formal legal status, has been in limbo because Trump has said he would overturn Obama's immigration orders.

In an interview with Time magazine announcing him as "Person of the Year," Trump didn't go into specifics but signaled that he could find a way to accommodate the Dreamers.

"We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud,” Trump told the magazine. “They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”

The interview notes that the president-elect did not back off his promise from the campaign trail to rescind Obama's executive actions. And without details, it's difficult to divine exactly what policy Trump would support once he is sworn in and has to face this issue.

His selection for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), is also a staunch opponent not only of Obama's executive actions on immigration but of legalizing those who are in the United States illegally.

A bipartisan group of senators is working on legislation meant to keep the status of the DACA beneficiaries intact should Trump follow through on his pledge and repeal Obama's executive actions. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-I'll.), one of the members leading the effort, said last week that more details of the plan could be rolled out at the end of this wee

Not quite what the headline suggests but hey it is Politico.

 

So I guess work something out means either a bus or plane ticket to their country of origin?

 

I'm not going to play guessing games like this fluff opinion piece.

You might find this interesting though as its information over some writers opinion

Yes it's "information". Not sure your point as it doesn't change anything.

 

Seems the EO is not Constitutional.... Do you think a Trump nominee to the USSC is going to change that?

 

Compromise is part of politics. Not sure why the author is mystified by that. Perhaps he was under the impression that compromise was dead and EO's would become standard after the Obama administration.

 

The court's temporary injunction, issued February 16, does not affect the existing DACA. Individuals may continue to come forward and request an initial grant of DACA or renewal of DACA under the guidelines established in 2012.

The ruling did not effect the current policy, just prevented expanding it.

 

The entire EO is blocked as of this moment.. Again do you think a Trump nominee is going to favor the EO? Its a split court atm. If the EO is shut down guess what they are here illegally.. Thanks for another cluster (*)(*)(*)(*) Obama.

Wikipedia says only the expansion was blocked and not the entire program, trumps response would seem to confirm that.

 

I gave you a previous injunction and a msnbc article on the matter showing i am right. I could care less about wiki which anyone can edit.

 

President Obama merely said the current injunction wouldn’t apply to those allowed to work under the 2012 program, since the injunction was aimed at the expansion of the program, which he announced in 2014. That expansion would have granted protection to a much larger group of immigrants brought to the U.S. as kids, plus their parents. Now, the future of the program is very much in limbo, depending on who becomes the next president and who that president subsequently nominates to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court in the wake of Justice Antonin Scalia’s death.

The courts decided the legality not Obama i could care less what he says or "merely" says.

 

Trump better 'work something out' with Ann Coulter because right about now she wants to cut off his nuts.

No single utterance from this lying POS can be trusted.

 

If a President cares what Ann Coulter thinks they shouldnt be President.

 

Good point. Endless betrayal of ardent supporters is outstanding policy.

 

2 days ago the left thought Trump and Al Gore would be taking turns dropping the soap in the shower. How did that work out for you with yesterdays EPA pick ? Trump plays the media like a Charlie Daniels plays the fiddle

first thing that will have to be done is secure the borders, then Congress can figure our what to do with the illegals already here

 

LOCK HER UP!

...or not.

 

I am sure all your Trump hatred will work out just as well on this subject as your posts in the thread about Trump meeting with Gore did.

 

Trump cared enough about what Ann Coulter thinks on illegal immigration to read her book (and used her material as a source for his immigration speeches). I think the appointment of Jeff Sessions is a more accurate indicator than the OP.

 

Agreed. And it will largely be Congress's direction anyway, since that's how our system of government normally works. The EO era is long over .

 

More leftists spin. Will be enjoying the next 8 years of leftists losing their minds.

 

But I thought that they were rapists and murderers but (only) some I suppose are good people

 

I don't hate Trump. He is the POS he's always been. Nothing new about this lying conman has manifested in 25 years.

I hate the feces flingers. (below)

 

So Trumps damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
That isn't a rational response.That sounds like something Hitler's
Nazi Party would think.Like there's no such thing as a good Jew.
Much less an Innocent jew.You do see the problem that causes.
Trump was damned if he didn't make a deal with Carrier and was damned
if he does.
He would be Damned if wasn't elected and damned if he was.
Makes no sense unless one is a Liberal.
Then all bets are off.
