Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel met with President-elect Donald Trump in New York on Wednesday morning, using the discussion to urge Trump to reconsider his positions on immigration.
During his 45-minute meeting with the president-elect in his personal office high above Manhattan in Trump Tower, Emanuel hand-delivered a letter from the mayors of some of the nation's largest cities urging Trump to continue protections offered to young immigrants instituted under President Barack Obama's administration.
The two-page letter asked Trump to continue Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the provision that protects young, so-called Dreamers who came to the country before the age of 16 from deportation and allows them to study and work in the U.S.
"I delivered to the president-elect and his senior adviser and his chief of staff a letter signed by 14 mayors that, uh, put together from across the country, about our DACA students. And that they were working hard towards the American Dream," Emanuel told reporters in the Trump Tower lobby following the meeting.
"And all of us fundamentally believe that those are students, those are also people that want to join the armed forces. They gave their name, their address, their phone number, where they are. They are trying to achieve the American Dream, no fault of their own, their parents came here. They are something we should hold up and embrace," the mayor added.
Emanuel has said that reversing DACA would amount to a "bait-and-switch" on those young immigrants who have trusted the government by stepping forward and offering their personal information.
The discussion between Emanuel and Trump was scheduled to last 30 minutes but went on for 45 minutes, according to a source familiar with the meeting who was not authorized to speak publicly. Emanuel met with Trump, the president-elect's chief strategist, Steve Bannon,

This fellow is inspired by the same God that inspired King Solomon of old. We are going to see a lot of the Solomonic out of Donald, I aver.
Donald will figure it out for him, and tell him so sweetly that he won’t be able to refuse.
This turd made it sound like he ran the meeting. He’s a schmuck.
He could hang out on this forum and get it figured out right quick.
Well he isn’t whining, so that’s a plus already.
This forum might confuse him with all its ungodly, worldly stuff.
As of today, there have been 14 homicides during the month of December.
Probably went as well as Trump’s meeting with Al Gore.
Trump listens to these people, but then he is doing what he promised us he will do.
Keep your enemies closer...
Tell Rham to quell S Chicago and then come back to get more freaks to train.
LOL, ferals ......
I guess I will just have to remember that David was a rather sinful man too but was used by God to great purpose.
I guess I just have a very hard time getting past the surface. Mr Trump is just too flamboyant, too bombastic, too unpredictable. His personality is just never going to sit well with my conservative Midwestern upbringing me.
However, that is my problem, not his.
I love how all these libtards have to suck it up, walk through the Donald’s lobby in front of cameras, ride the Donald’s elevator up to the Donald’s penthouse and kiss the Donald’s ring. Perfect.
You see, ObucketOshit did not want to break up the happy homes these dreamers knew.
This is including some of the latest addition to the dreamer role in the last 4 years that have been hauled over here in mass.
So if your great deal is to accept one portion of these then you need to pony up the money for the American Taxpayer that does not want them here. Starting with mine, deport all of them.
They will never assimilate and their third world country will always be home
I could hold that view, but I don’t.
Hillary would have destroyed the USA. I don’t mind Trump explaining himself to the left, that’s all he needs to do.
We have a nation of laws the left seems to forget. Let us all now remind them of that.
The down side of winning the presidency is that you have to meet with worms like Rahm Emmanuel. Like even ONE of those mayors voted for Trump.
Rahm had a good meeting with DJT over immigration.... Just like Algore had a good meeting with DJT over environment before DJT nominated Pruitt for head of EPA? Kekekeke
Yes, I pray he gives Trump wisdom.
