Trump wants compromise immigration bill: reports

President Trump may urge lawmakers to pass a compromise immigration reform bill during his speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, a senior administration official told television network anchors who met with the president.

Trump believes a major immigration bill is necessary but would require "a softening on both sides. There's got to be a coming together," the official said, according to CNN.

Trump envisions a proposal that would allow some undocumented immigrants live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation, but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.

Such a move would be a departure from the hardline stance on illegal immigration Trump has taken thus far in his presidency.

Another “senior official”.

[sissyjane]

I will believe what comes out of the Presidents mouth tonight, and not “senior officials”.

Art of the Deal moment?

[upchuck]

Please don’t go backwards President Trump. Your tough campaign stands on criminal aliens is one of the main reasons I voted for you. Lots of other folks, too.

“Trump envisions a proposal that would allow some undocumented immigrants live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation, but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.”

Fake news until shown otherwise.

DO NOT COMPROMISE WITH THE LEFT

THEY NEVER DO

More Fake News from Fake Unnamed Sources.

Oh I doubt he would change the criminal alien. Most of us would be fine with some being allowed to remain but no citizenship. If they want that they have to go home and apply.

Ivanka?

“.....but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.”

Until some left-wing monnbat judges ORDERS the government to grant them citizenship.

This almost sounds like the moron Jorge W. Bush and his “temporary guest workers.”

cripes....no good.

Asked about the reports, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: “I do know that the president has been very clear in his process that the immigration system is broken and needs massive reform and he’s made it clear that he is open to discussions on that moving forward.”

[McGavin999]

I need to add, no public welfare, must have job, no job must leave.

[TakebackGOP]

No

[fortheDeclaration]

There is nothing wrong with being flexible.

[WatchungEagle]

Speak for yourself.

[VanDeKoik]

Yup.

FR still loves its fake news.

Say x and watch them jump.

[MichaelCorleone]

Best to reserve comment until after the speech.

Let us not forget Ann Coulter’s book ‘Adios America’, lest we fall prey to the liberal, globalist dogma.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No amnesty.
We tried that approach in 1986 and it resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens and a general disregard for all of our laws by foreigners.

No new laws that benefit those breaking the current ones.

Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement is what we need

“Trump envisions a proposal that would allow some undocumented immigrants live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation, but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.”

Perhaps the only thing Mark Levin has been correct about over the past year is that ANY such move would be DOA when it reached the Federal Courts.

They will never allow a two-tiered system with "second-class citizens".
