In a newly published interview with Time, which proclaimed him “Person of the Year” on Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump seemed to signal that he would not deport “DREAMers,” the colloquial name given to the beneficiaries of one of President Barack Obama’s executive orders on immigration. These illegal immigrants have been given a reprieve on deportation, as well as other benefits, as a result of Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which many critics have called a form of “executive amnesty.”

There are approximately 740,000 DREAMers living in this country.

On the campaign trail, Trump was a critic of the program, which he suggested was harmful to American workers and children.


He also specifically promised on a number of occasions to repeal Obama’s executive actions on immigration. In his Time interview, however, Trump said:

I want Dreamers for our children also. We’re going to work something out. On a humanitarian basis it’s a very tough situation. We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud. But that’s a very tough situation.

By way of further explanation, Trump stated:

They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.

These comments, though not detailed, signal that Trump is open to allowing at least some portion of the DREAMers to stay in the country and to achieve some sort of permanent legal status.

Trump’s comments echoed those of other Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who plans to put forward a bill in the next congressional session that would permit most DREAMers to stay in the country permanently.

Trump has not yet rescinded his promise to revoke Obama’s executive order, but it appears that Trump may be ready to work with Congress to provide a solution for DACA beneficiaries who are currently in this country.

Trump: 'We’re going to work something out’ on 'Dreamers'

I want Dreamers for our children also. We’re going to work something out. On a humanitarian basis it’s a very tough situation. We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud. But that’s a very tough situation.

They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.

I will be happy and proud when we throw them out. If they resent the fact that they were brought here at a very young age, they can blame their corrupt and criminal parents who either dragged them here or flung them across the border.

The dreamers are the ones who like to imagine that whenever Trump shows anything but a hostile attitude towards illegal immigrants that it means he has changed his mind about throwing them out. Of course something special could be done for those who are here illegally under unusual circumstances, but that doesn't necessarily mean keeping them here.

If you read the Time article, it's a terrible article jumping all around between time spans and insults, so it's really hard at this point to know what he actually said and when he said it or what he meant by it. So lets see what he actually says to US. This is why he's not doing many interviews these days. The only reason he did one with NBC today was because he was selected as Time Person of the Year.

These comments, though not detailed, signal that Trump is open to allowing at least some portion of the DREAMers to stay in the country and to achieve some sort of permanent legal status.

This statement is conjecture by Time Magazine, not Donald Trump. Time Magazine has proven itself to be a biased and deceptive propaganda publication dedicated to amnesty for illegal aliens which would usher in permanent open borders for America.

They are eager to try to disappoint Trump supporters any way they can and they know that if Donald Trump waivers on any of his immigration promises it will completely destroy his Presidency and the movement he rode into office.

There is also the problem of deception by obama admin re "dreamers" - "those brought at a young age by their illegal parents" and those that entered the USA illegally as youths in the last 16 yrs. They are NOT DREAMERS! They are the ones that are producing offspring for the "anchor" on our dollar - birthing, schooling, 4-6 children each with many more births to come = more $$$$, yet no father is responsible for child support. USA citizen father - try that, they will take your paycheck, your drivers license..

He is President of the American people. This constant preference for foreign citizens and illegal aliens, no matter the age, must stop. Develop a coherent message, let Stephen Miller or Jeff Sessions or Kris Kobach write it and repeat it.

It is amazing how the issue of immigration, illegal immigration, protecting illegal aliens and securing the borders is bringing such fury from Democrats and some Republicans, afraid Donald Trump would reverse years of damage.
