Donald Trump is working on an order for a new merit-based immigration system for the United States
Washington:
US President Donald Trump is working on an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system, the White House said.
The White House statement came shortly after Donald Trump, in an interview with Telemundo News, said that he was working on an immigration executive order that will include a “road to citizenship” for beneficiaries of the deferred action program for the arrival of children (DACA). .
Responding to a question, President Trump said his action on the DACA would be part of a much larger immigration bill.
“It will be a very big bill, a very good bill and a merit-based bill and it will include DACA, and I think people will be very happy,” he said.
“One aspect of the bill is going to be DACA. We are going to have a path to citizenship,” said Donald Trump, drawing fierce criticism from his neighborhoods. Senator Ted Cruz described this decision as a mistake.
“As the president announced today, he is working on an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system to further protect American workers,” the White House said in a statement.
“In addition, the President has long declared that he is willing to work with Congress on a negotiated legislative solution to the DACA, which could include citizenship, as well as strong border security and permanent merit-based reforms” said the White House.
“This does not include amnesty. Unfortunately, the Democrats have continuously refused these offers because they are opposed to anything other than completely open borders,” the White House said in a statement.
During the interview, Donald Trump said that the opposition had broken the agreement with him on the DACA.
“I had a deal with the Democrats and they broke the deal. DACA could have been taken over two years ago, but the Democrats broke the deal. All of a sudden, they they just broke up for no reason. In fact, they had a minor court case, and they said, “Oh, let’s not talk about the deal anymore,” he said.
Donald Trump said that the recent Supreme Court of the United States decision gave the president enormous powers when he said that you could accommodate about 700,000 people in this case.
“Based on the powers they have (SC) granted, I will draft an immigration bill. One aspect of the bill that you will be very pleased with, and that many people will be, there understood me and By the way, a lot of Republicans will be the DACAs. This will open a path for them to citizenship, “said Donald Trump.
