Trump to Dreamers: 'We're going to work something out'

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

President-elect Trump pushed back on the Democratic suggestion that he will deport so-called "Dreamers," or children brought to the U.S. illegally by their undocumented parents.

 

"We're going to work something out that's going to make people happy and proud," Trump said of Dreamers in an interview with Time magazine after he secured its "Person of the Year" title.

 

"They got brought here at a very young age, they've worked here, they've gone to school here," Trump said. "Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they're in never-never land because they don't know what's going to happen."

 

Democrats have accused Trump of planning to deport young Latinos who are currently protected under President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which he created using an executive order.

Democrats demand ‘full, categorical pardon’ for illegal immigrants, say Obama ignoring own powers

 

House Democrats renewed their call for President Obama to issue a “full, categorical pardon” for illegal immigrants, saying Wednesday that he is misunderstanding the extent of his powers and he can, in fact, help out hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant Dreamers.

Young adults who came to the U.S. as children, the more than 740,000 Dreamers who gained tentative legal status under Mr. Obama’s 2012 deportation amnesty, are the most sympathetic figures in the debate.

Democrats said they trusted Mr. Obama’s promises and came forward, announcing themselves as illegal immigrants, and now a Trump administration would have a road map for how to deport them, unless the president finds a way to shield them.

“These kids took a risk, and we ask President Obama to take a risk as well,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, California Democrat.
