Trump: Even if I don't love the plan, I'll support it

From CNN's Noah Gray


Asked if his position on DACA has changed, Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he was going to leave DACA in the hands of the bipartisan lawmakers is meeting with today.


“I think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up with," Trump said.


"I am very much reliant on the people in this room. I know most of the people on both sides, have a lot of respect for the people on both sides, and ... what I approve is going to be very much reliant on what the people in this room come to me with.”


Trump added if the group presents him with a plan he does not like he would support it anyway.


"If they come to me with things I'm not in love with, I'm gonna do it. Because I respect them," he said.

Saying he was thrilled to be in a room of distinguished Democrats and Republicans, President Trump said any DACA legislation must be bipartisan and should be “a bill of love.”


"Having the Democrats in with us is absolutely vital. It should be a bipartisan bill. A bill of love. Truly it should be a bill of love," Trump said.


It also must, the President added, include three things:

• Enhance border security: This includes the wall and more resources for ICE agents. He said he wants a wall “on a good portion” of the border.
• End chain migration: The term "chain migration" refers to immigrants coming to a country based on a connection to family. "A lot of people in this room want to see chain migration ended," Trump said, citing the recent New York truck attack as an example of why he wants it ended.
• End visa lottery: The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program awards up to 50,000 individuals per year a visa for a green card, which bestows permanent residency in the US and is a path to citizenship.
