Trump said the Democrats had a chance for three years to do something with the DACA and that they had always refused it.
“They always refused it. They used it as a policy. I am using it to do something, but we are going to sign a very powerful immigration law. It will be great, it will be based on merit. The country has been trying to get it for 25 or 30 years, “he said in response to a question.
“It will be strong at the border, but you will enter legally and you will be able to enter legally and very importantly, we will take care of the people of DACA in a very republican way,” said the president.
