President-elect Donald Trump recently expressed his willingness to work with Democrats on addressing the issue of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children. In an interview, Trump stated that he plans to take action regarding the so-called Dreamers, emphasizing the need to address their situation.
Trump acknowledged the concerns of Dreamers about potential deportation in his upcoming administration, assuring that they will be addressed in due course. He mentioned his intention to collaborate with Democrats on formulating a plan to address the Dreamers' status, highlighting the challenges posed by the current political climate.
During the interview, Trump emphasized the importance of finding a solution for Dreamers, stating that he is open to working with Republicans and Democrats to ensure that they can stay in the US. He recognized the contributions of Dreamers to society, noting that many of them have successful careers and make valuable contributions to the country.
Notably, discussions within Trump's team have centered on the issue of deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, with a particular focus on how to handle individuals who were brought to the US as children. This group, commonly referred to as Dreamers, has previously enjoyed bipartisan support, with some benefiting from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program established during the Obama administration.
The potential targeting of Dreamers for deportation represents a shift from the bipartisan consensus that has traditionally supported their presence in the US. The fate of Dreamers remains a significant issue under consideration as the incoming administration navigates the complexities of immigration policy.
