Trump softens tone on undocumented young people

WASHINGTON ― President-elect Donald Trump says he’s “going to work something out” with regard to Dreamers, the undocumented young people he promised for his entire campaign to strip of work authorization and protections.

“I want Dreamers for our children also,” Trump told Time. “We’re going to work something out. On a humanitarian basis it’s a very tough situation. We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud. But that’s a very tough situation.”

“They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here,” he added. “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.”

The magazine notes that the president-elect did not back away from a vow to endthe Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which President Barack Obama started in 2012 to grant work permits and temporary reprieve to certain young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. That plan ― and the fact that as president, Trump could have access to the names and addresses of current DACA recipients ― has caused terror within the undocumented community. Thus far, more than 740,000 Dreamers have received DACA.

Even if Trump technically rescinded DACA, anything he might do to protect Dreamers ― if that’s what he means by “work something out” ― would risk breaking campaign promises. Sparing them as a rule from deportation or extending their work permits would be DACA by another name.

Too late Donald.

you did your sh*t by rallying your hillbillies with hate speech. They listened to you and they woke up. They won't let you soften on the ones you swore to banish (and all the other groups). You divided that country.

So he's basically learning that all his campaign promises have catches. I'm sure his supporters will be very happy.

I hate Trump but isn't it kinda twisted how almost every liberal was terrified of the consequences of him becoming president and now it seems like everyone wants him to fail? We feel like if he succeeds, then all the bigotry he stood for will prevail too. So basically half of America is destroying this country with bigotry, and the other half wants to see America fail to counteract that bigotry. 

That's so unhealthy. Honestly we might be screwed.

There's a HUGE difference between wanting Trump to fail and wanting America to fail.

Trump is NOT America. In fact, any success on his part will likely be a huge failure for the American people. So it is perfectly legitimate to oppose his campaign promises and policies, if it means preserving the progress of the nation.

I want Trump to fail on enacting his policies, which will prevent our nation from failing. If Trump succeeds in pushing his agenda, our country will be pushed back decades both in economic and social policy and our progress will be ruined.

Why does this man get to go into office, get told "well, you can't really do that" and then get to worm his way until he finds out what it means to have actual policies?

Shouldn't we have elected someone who already has a sense of what they are doing perhaps? Someone who not a Narcissist with a child-like temperament? :shrug: 

****ing Americans :madge:

Whispering

Trump backs off his policies depending on what audience he is talking to. He'll deport Dreamers and then tell everyone he didn't. He will simply deny it. 

Gaslighting at its finest, which is his standard operating procedure.

How many times did he say "work something out"?!?

It sounds like a child is talking. I can't even read his quotes without cringing...
