President Trump Tuesday said he would sign an executive order to take care of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and emphasize merit-based education.
Were going to be taking care of DACA, Trump said at a Rose Garden briefing. Im going to be signing immigration action, very big merit-based immigration action.
Trump added that Joe Biden would vastly expand low-skilled immigration: I like skills, I like merit.
The president said the order would be coming "very soon."
"Even conservative Republicans want to see something happen with DACA," Trump said. "Democrats had their chance for three years."
"They always turned it down," he said, adding that Democrats used the debate over childhood arrivals as a "political tool."
Trump said last Friday he would sign an executive order which would include a road to citizenship for DACA recipients.
Im going do a big executive order, I have the power to do it as president and Im going to make DACA a part of it, Trump said in an interview with Telemundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart.
But well put it in and then were probably going to be taking it out. Were working out the legal complexities right now, Trump added, but did not expand on what he meant.
Trump, who has pledged to end DACA since he was on the campaign trail in 2015 when he called the program an illegal executive order, said that the bill wouldnt just be for temporary relief but would be a far more encompassing merit-based bill.
DACA currently serves as a protection for young immigrants that were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, also referred to as Dreamers, to allow them to legally study, work and remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation.

Trump is talking AMNESTY. This will gain him nothing with voters.

Who says crime doesn’t pay?
You need to lay 10 miles of boarder fence to qualify ?
.
Pandering to you enemies will destroy you .
No convictions or arrests or gang ties and good grades would be my guess.
Merit based? is that like Reagan’s “One time amnesty”?

You are not a cat...learn from PDJT’S last 5 yrs...watch what he DOES, NOT what he says. Wait to read the EO.
Trump will
destroy the country and lose the election with amnesty for millions of radical Mexican leftists .
The base will stay home .
Thanks Javanka .
I warned Javanka ideas would kill his WH .

Good grief, a thread full of cats who don’t learn from PDJT’S last 5 yrs...grow up.
What constitutes 'fixing'?
Oh brilliant strategy Mr. President, keep taking issues away from rats, by doing rat things!
Yeah. Talk about a pencil neck. Jared qualifies.
Can you hear the wailes yet?
Do you hear the whales?
AMNESTY! He plans to give amnesty! To all those illegals.
People do you hear yourselves? Though in the past we were
screwed without a kiss and some (GWB) were
willing to give our country away to illegals
without a whatsoever.
Do you not know our President likes to talk? He does so,
but you must actually observe his actions.
Do any here REALLY believe he has worked his butt
off to MAGA; fought the creatures in the swamp
in order to drain it?
After all this, do you honestly believe
he intends to basically 'kneel' and throw it away.
OF COURSE NOT! My lord, people, have a bit of faith in the man.
I know it is difficult as our faith has been shattered
time after time. Watch his actions. He states a road
to citizenship. Allow him time to explain how
this road is traveled. Will a toll ticket be necessary?
Give him a chance. He is working to keep his promises made.
One was to 'fix' DACA (to EVERYONE'S satisfaction).
There will be more to follow. Of this, you should be certain.
Disappointed. But Reagan did too and gets a huge pass. Maybe trump thinks he will too.
Those rotten 6-month old criminals.
In all fairness, can we get back to actual laws, and stop with these decrees. If the government is gridlocked and cant pass a bill, too bad.
