Trump’s immigration proposal will get 60 votes in the Senate
According to the White House official, the President is offering a “compromise position that will get 60 votes in the Senate.” He added that it is a “framework that ultimately will lead to a passage of a law.”
On Wednesday, Pres. Trump told reporters that he supports a path to citizenship for DACA recipients. He suggested that Dreamers could gain citizenship in 10 to 12 years.
The President said, “We’re going to morph into it. It’s going to happen. At some point in the future, over a period of 10 to 12 years” He added, “I think it’s a nice thing to have the incentive of …being able to become a citizen” after working hard for years.”
Trump’s offer is “extremely generous”
In addition to the $25 billion border wall funding, Pres. Trump also want to eliminate the visa lottery program. He also wants to curb chain migration. New American citizens can file petition for their spouses and children to stay in the United States legally. However, they will no longer be able to sponsor other relatives.
