Day after 'too tough' remark over GOP midterm loss, Trump says immigration policy 'very strong', will deport 'worst of the worst'
The president and his allies rejected amnesty while trying to calm conservatives after he suggested a possible deal for longtime undocumented workers.
- During a Tuesday interview on The Ingraham Angle, Fox News host Laura Ingraham pressed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on President Donald Trump's recent 60 Minutes comments suggesting potential openness to immigration deals.
- Trump shocked some supporters by suggesting in a 60 Minutes interview that he was open to legislation providing legal status for specific immigrant groups, such as those working in hospitality, while noting that working with Democrats is "actually doable."
- Ingraham challenged Mullin over the administration's consistency, noting that 92% of Fox exit poll respondents believe Republicans have not gone far enough on immigration while questioning why officials would negotiate with Democrats.
- Mullin insisted there is "zero change" in policy, which he said is to target the "worst of the worst," while emphasizing that "We're never going to allow amnesty to happen."
- Policy direction remains uncertain as Trump recently promoted Stephen Miller, the architect of strict deportation policies, to deputy chief of staff, potentially complicating the "good people" approach favored by some moderate voices.
