DACA Proposal
Trump has issued a proposal that could see about 1.8 million persons receiving citizenship. The policy was currently in the early phase and now had to go through the process like any other bill.
“This is kind of a bottom line,” said an official. “This is the President’s position. Then it goes to the Hill and they digest it and develop a bill they think can pass. … If it’s realistic, he’ll sign it. If not, he won’t.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham said “President Obama tried and couldn’t fix immigration. President Bush tried and couldn’t do it. I believe President Trump can. Today’s DACA recipients can be tomorrow’s #TRUMPDreamers.”
“We’re grateful for the president showing leadership on this issue and believe his ideas will help us ultimately reach a balanced solution,” said Doug Andres.
Andres was speaking on behalf of Paul Ryan, the House Speaker.
