LISTEN: MARK KRIKORIAN Discussed A Possible Trump Immigration Deal Involving Dreamers

INTERVIEW — MARK KRIKORIAN – Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS)

  • President Trump addresses immigration reform in Arizona
  • Nancy Pelosi‏ @NancyPelosi 17h17 hours ago: It is reprehensible to treat children as bargaining chips. America’s DREAMers are not negotiable. #DefendDACA
  • Trump aides plot a big immigration deal — that breaks a campaign promise. (McClatchy)  — Donald Trump’s top aides are pushing him to protect young people brought into the country illegally as children — and then use the issue as a bargaining chip for a larger immigration deal — despite the president’s campaign vow to deport so-called Dreamers. The White House officials want Trump to strike an ambitious deal with Congress that offers Dreamers protection in exchange for legislation that pays for a border wall and more detention facilities, curbs legal immigration and implements E-verify, an online system that allows businesses to check immigration status, according to a half-dozen people familiar with situation, most involved with the negotiations.
