President Trump on Sunday said his deportation policies might have been “too tough” and contributed to the GOP’s historic losses in this year’s elections.
CBS News’s Ross Douthat asked the president on “60 Minutes” if his immigration policy lost his party the midterms.
“I think it both helped and hurt,” Trump responded. “I think I got an A-plus for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out, but I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs that created one violation for breaking of the law, that was what they came into the country illegally.”
“Now, there is a large part of the country that think that they should be put out,” he continued. “And there’s a large part of the country that think that they should be allowed to stay if they’re good people, working in a landscaping company, or working in a hotel, or doing something, right? And in some cases, paying taxes.”
The president later went on to characterize his immigration policy as “too tough” and expressed interest in working across the aisle in the next Congress, when both chambers will be under Democratic control. However, his recent decision to replace Susie Wiles with longtime adviser Stephen Miller, a hard-liner on immigration, as White House chief of staff sends a different signal.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who has called out Miller’s views on immigration, said on Friday that Trump “needs to rethink” Miller’s appointment.
“It is a colossal mistake, and the last thing we need 72 hours after the a– whooping we got on Tuesday,” Tillis told CNN on Friday.

You know a lot of Trump’s spitballing is to sucker the other side into giving away what they are really after in a negotiation. Do you want legal guest workers or do you want to buy new voters with open borders, welfare and tolerance for criminality. And the suckers pretty much fell for it.
No, the problem is that Democrats support illegal aliens over law-abiding Americans.
Trump: responded. “I think I got an A-plus for closing up the border.“
I’d give him a higher grade than that. Pushing back on the illegals is one area where Trump really shined. And now he’s backtracking.
