Tuesday Night: u.s.-Mexico Border and News Anchors

tuesday night: A person with knowledge of the discussion confirmed his comments to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, according to CTV. Trump campaigned as an immigration hardliner, vowing to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and pledging to step up deportations. The president, in a lunch with news anchors ahead of his address to Congress on Tuesday night, said, The time is right for an immigration bill as long as there is compromise on both sides. Since taking office, some of his policy moves have hewed closely to those promises, including new guidance from the Department of Homeland Security that would subject any immigrant in the country illegally to deportation if they are charged or convicted of any offence, or even suspected of a crime. Although he railed against President Barack Obama's executive actions to protect those immigrants from deportation during the campaign, Trump has not rolled back those safeguards and has suggested he has other priorities. But the president also has suggested he is open to finding a solution for the so-called Dreamers -- those who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
