Two senators said Wednesday they are "encouraged" by President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to reach a deal on some undocumented immigrants.
“We’re encouraged by these comments by President-elect Trump — they present an opportunity to do the right thing for more than 744,000 young people who grew up here," Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said in a joint statement.
Trump told Time magazine that his administration would "work something out" for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children.
"They got brought here at a very young age," the real estate mogul said. "And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”

So let me understand your position. I’m the child of two LEGAL immigrants. Born here. Served in the military (as did my father, a non-US citizen), etc. etc. Should my citizenship be revoked?
We should all vow to never use the term “dreamers”
They mean “ILLEGAL ALIENS”
Legal is fine. My dad was a legal immigrant did not become a citizen until I was 3. My mother was born here. I have issue wit them coming over just to have kids to stay.
Better to put his feet to the fire now. He has had his immigration plan on his website now for many months. And he railed against the DACA executive amnesties.
George W Bush far from ignored immigration. No, he spent every penny of political capital he had in his second term trying to get amnesty passed. Thankfully he failed. Over and over and over.
If they are “encouraged”...I am disappointed (unless it is taquia!).
The only deal should be regarding how long illegals have to leave.
Yeah, dreamers, we will work it out. Go back home, get in line and apply. We’ll give you a fair hearing and a yes or no answer.
