The Trump administration would support legislation allowing illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children to gain lawful permanent status and eventually citizenship, a Department of Homeland Security official said in testimony to Congress on Tuesday.
The Trump administration last month ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, which began in 2012 under former President Barack Obama and offered nearly 800,000 young people who came to the United States illegally as children protection from deportation and the right to work legally in the United States.
The administration said it ended DACA because Obama overstepped his constitutional authority by creating the policy unilaterally and without Congressional approval. President Donald Trump called on Congress to enact a law to protect DACA recipients, and last month angered some of his fellow Republicans by negotiating with congressional Democratic leaders on possible legislation.
"Under a rational bill these individuals would be able to become lawful permanent residents with a pathway to citizenship," Michael Dougherty, assistant DHS secretary for border, immigration and trade policy, said at a Senate hearing, in response to questioning on the Trump administration's position on whether "Dreamers," as they are often called, should be allowed to stay in the United States.
A DHS spokesman did not immediately respond to a question regarding whether the administration's stance applies only to individuals who had DACA status, or also applies to those who would have qualified had the policy not been rescinded.
Earlier in the hearing, when asked what Trump would like to see in a "DACA fix bill," Dougherty recited a list of the administration's immigration priorities, including border control, expanding the ability to quickly remove people who enter illegally and do not claim asylum, better vetting, reducing visa overstays, reforming non-immigrant business visas and establishing a merit-based system...

Political process is a failure. We need a convention against all these seditious dealings and behaviors in our country against our rits, that of women and self defense.
funny how these effing judges say Trump cannot discriminate muslims from comingnin but it is fine to let these hordes discriminate others cheating the process in seditious manner.
Trump is setting himself up to adopt a language that will be used to finance his own impeachment.
Iss this what we elected him to do?
Some people warned you about this kind of thing.
I’ve already written him one nasty email regarding DACA amnesty.
Amnesty of any kind is my ‘hill to die on’.
Opening paragraph says:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. official told Congress on Tuesday it would be “rational” to legislate a path for citizenship for illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children, but within hours the administration backtracked, saying his comments did not state the views of President Donald Trump.
JBW1949, FReepers don't read anymore
Yep...Right off the bat, they jump to the worst conclusions...Trump has shown over and over, if you wait, you will see he says and does what he’s talked about...
If they do then The President is deliberately telling different stories to his cabinet. Either that or he has rogue members that he gives a pass too.
He also said Trannies are out, then he gave Mattis 6 months to study how best to transition them out, so Mattis issued orders to let them re-enlist and continue medical care. Mattis also testified to Congress today that he felt we needed to keep the Iran Treaty in place, another direct contradiction to what Trump has publicly called for and campaigned on.
Someone needs to save him from himself, like they did in Alabama.
Speaking of lying, another big promise of Trump was to do away with the Obama HHS mandate. The justice department has already ruled it illegal and Trump does not have to wait for Obamacare to be repealed to get rid of it. He can immediately do it with an Executive Order.

Yep
Ask McConnell.
Screw that. #AmnestyDon will lose bigly if he follows this path.
Too bad the GOP-e Obstruction threads fail to garner this level of hysteria. /sniff
You people seem to have a problem with reading comprehension skills. And I quote:
“Under a rational bill these individuals would be able to become lawful permanent residents with a pathway to citizenship,”
said a “DHS assistant secretary”
IOW, it is HIS OPINION that, under a “rational” bill, ‘x,’ ‘y,’ or ‘z’ whould happen ... Thus, Trump did not say this; rather some Deep Sate “assistant” DHS dufus gave HIS opinion what HE thinks a bill should have.
Try not to clutch those pearls too tightly.
You really mean to say “JEWvanka” - don’t you? Come on, admit it - that’s what you, and your “buddies” actually mean by the expression.
Read? LOL - Do you actually expect these goofs to read the words, as they are written? Naw! Come on! It’s much more fun for them to make sh*t up, so they can play their Never Trump cards.
Do you think Deep State jackasses give a rat’s tail what POTUS wants or says? What’s Jeff Sessions gonna do? Fire the DHS? Sure! Like he fired Mueller and Rosenstein! The entire DOJ is out of control, and is doing whatever the f*** they feel like - no matter what POTUS says or thinks. Why? Because that gutless, spineless, ball-less, used ass wipe, Jeff Sessions, “recused” himself from being an AG. In fact, he recused himself from being a man.
