Tom Homan: President Trump Is Being Lobbied by Cabinet Members to Approve Migrant Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | 5/7/26 | Neil Munro

Posted on 05/07/2026 10:31:01 AM PDT by CFW

Border Czar Tom Homan told CBS News that President Donald Trump is talking to his advisors about offering some form of “legal status” to many illegal migrants.

A pro-migration reporter at CBS asked Homan on Wednesday: “Would you support a compromise, sir, that involves giving legal status [amnesty] to the millions of people who are here illegally but are otherwise law-abiding?”

“I’m not gonna get ahead of the President on that,” Homan cautiously responded.

“I work for the President,” Homan added, as the Colombian-born migrant reporter interrupted him to insist that “Something has to be done to address that [illegal migrant] population, or is a solution to deport them all?”

Homan answered:

I’m not going to get ahead of President. You know, the President’s talking to various members of his cabinet, there’s discussions going on. I’m involved in some, but not others, but I’m not going to get ahead of the President on this.

Maine @TheMaineWonk · Follow ‼️ HOMAN TO CBS NEWS: There are ongoing discussions between Trump and Cabinet about granting legal status to law abiding illegals and dreamers.

Pushback and civic action by the American people has clearly pushed Trump admin to change immigration tactics and policy.

If the GOP wants a guaranteed way to lose not only the mid-terms but also the Presidency, Senate, and House in 2028, this is it.

Trump has backtracked on just about every other promise he made in 2024, so this wouldn’t be surprising if true.

oh man.

I really hope the president stays steady on deportations throughout his term.

I really hope the next republican president stays steady on deportations throughout his term.

Breitbart has some credibility. And so does Homan.

If this story is true and Trump acts on it, MAGA is going to fall apart. It would be like removing one leg from a three-leg chair.

Illegal is as illegal does. Deport them all. The law is the law.

HELL NO. We’re finally starting....I repeat STARTING to get some real traction with the mass deportations. It needs to continue for the rest of President Trump’s term and run for at least 4 more years of the next president’s term. Then we will have undone the damage Biden did.

Why? Jose is going to swear he's a nice guy - then after getting amnesty he'll go out and drink and drive and kill a family of four.

No thanks. The arrogant mentality of someone who would cross illegally into the US speaks volumes about their behavior once here.

I remember that Rush had a detailed plan and conditions if amnesty was adopted. I seem to remember the key condition was they could not vote for 25 yrs. Anyone else remember more of the details?

Yeah, no he hasn't. Go cuddle up with your boy Nick Fuentes.

Another problem with amnesty is that it gives illegals just another reason to sneak into the country.

“Maybe we’ll eventually get amnesty too.”

I can see one way he does it -- if one of the criteria is that the illegal exit the country and apply to come in legally. That might be a way to get several million of them out all at once and put them on a 30 year wait list.

Well, that kind of talk will certainly help motivate the get-out-the-vote at mid-terms.

The Stupid Party the Stupid Party for a reason.

Even in the Trump administration. They know their base is completely against this, and still they’re trying to push it. Republicans in general are complete garbage - I vote for them because the Democrats are worse than garbage.

Yep, Reagan gave amnesty to three million and we got tens of Millions in return. If he wants the memory of his administration tarnished with the stain off betrayal, side with the illegal invaders over American citizens and immigrants who come here legally.
