Ivanka Trump: DACA Needs a 'Long-Term' Fix

Ivanka Trump said Monday that she thinks there needs to be "a long-term congressional fix" to protect beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.


"This is a very complicated issue that needs a long-term congressional fix," Trump said at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington. "I personally am of the opinion— and the president has stated this— that we have to figure out a good solution that protects these innocent people, many of whom were brought to the country as children."

DACA is an Obama-era policy that shielded around 700,000 immigrants brought illegally to the country as children from deportation. The Trump Administration announced in September that it would end. President Trump has since been working on a deal with Democrats in Congress on a legislative solution that could allow Dreamers to avoid deportation. But the White House's new list of demands on immigration could hamper the negotiations.


"There has to be a long-term fix," Ivanka Trump continued. "It can’t be bandaged over on a presidential level by another executive order."

When I listen to Ivanka I feel like we are possibly being played. She says that she agrees with the Senator on the stage with her at this event about the need for "comprehensive immigration reform." Ivanka also calls the illegal aliens "innocent. She says her father feels this way.

Is this new 70 point outline which is thoughtfully drafted just to appease us? Ivanka is a saboteur when she speaks on illegal immigration and supports the liberal amnesty position.

The continual praise for illegal aliens is disturbing.

Ivanka Trump, shown earlier this month with her husband, Jared Kushner, spoke Monday at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit.

• Ivanka Trump attends Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit
• When asked about DACA recipients, she says the issue "needs a long-term congressional fix"

(CNN)Ivanka Trump waded into the immigration debate Monday evening, calling the fate of immigrants who have been covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program a "very complicated issue."

"You do have the question of the Dreamers: 800,000 young people, most of whom are under 25, most of whom are women. What role should the Dreamers be playing in the future workforce?" moderator Nina Easton asked Trump during a panel discussion at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit.

"This is a very complicated issue that needs a long-term congressional fix," she said, prompting murmurs from the audience, which included female business powerhouses, including Diane Von Furstenberg and Sheryl Sandberg.

Monday's response was the first time Ivanka Trump has addressed the topic of immigration since her father took office, usually opting to stay away from controversial political topics.

President Donald Trump announced he would end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, at the beginning of last month, but gave Congress a six-month window in which to act to make the program permanent.


The first daughter and senior adviser to the President echoed her father's public statements on the future of the DACA program, and called on Congress to act.


"I personally am of the opinion and the President has stated that we have to figure out a good solution that protects these innocent people, many of whom were brought into this country as children. There has to be a long-term fix and it cannot be bandaged over at a presidential level through another executive order that can be rescinded through another administration," Ivanka Trump said Monday.


On Sunday night, the White House released an aggressive list of priorities for a deal to protect young undocumented immigrants, including tough border security and immigration enforcement measures.


"Our system is flawed, and it is not equipped to handle the challenges, and our visa program is deeply flawed. We're not retaining the best talent for the jobs that we need and that has to fundamentally be reconsidered," Trump said.


Trump was at the summit to discuss workforce development and the future of work. She has called skills-based training an "enormous priority" for her father's administration.


On Monday, she also pointed to the lack of affordable child care as "enormously prohibitive to women in the workforce," saying it's something she's working to tackle with the administration's push on tax reform.


Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, delivering a keynote speech earlier in the event, also called for comprehensive immigration reform. Klobuchar, from Minnesota, recently attended a bipartisan dinner at Trump's Washington home, according to a White House official.


After her remarks, Trump worked the room, exchanging pleasantries with Klobuchar and Arianna Huffington, among others. She stayed for the dinner, seated at a table with Fortune's Alan Murray and Katie Telford, chief of staff to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.


Trump first took an interest in apprenticeships and vocational training while meeting voters on the campaign trail, she told reporters during the White House's "Workforce Development Week" in June. She also toured a Siemens apprenticeship training center while visiting Germany in April at the invitation of Chancellor Angela Merkel.


The first daughter has made workforce development a key component of her West Wing portfolio, which also includes women's economic empowerment, ending human trafficking and promoting STEM and computer science education.

She says the problem can't be "bandaged over."

Ivanka Trump on Monday called for a longterm Congressional fix to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that President Donald Trump decided to end in September.


“I personally am of the opinion—the president has stated this—that we have to figure out a good solution that protects these innocent people, many of whom were brought to this country as children,” the first daughter and presidential advisor said at Fortune‘s Most Powerful Women Summit, referencing the 800,000 so-called Dreamers who arrived in the U.S. as children and were shielded from deportation under the Obama-era program.


The problem, she said, “cannot be bandaged over at the presidential level through another executive order that can be rescinded by a subsequent administration.”
Trump appeared on a panel about the future of work alongside Deloitte CEO Cathy Engelbert and Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson.
.

In responding to a question about how the Dreamers fit into the United States’ future workforce, Trump also called for comprehensive immigration reform. “I think that is the right approach because our system is flawed, and it is not equipped to handle the challenges,” she said. “[O]ur visa program is deeply flawed—we’re not retaining the best talent for the jobs that we need and that has to fundamentally be reconsidered.”
Her comments about DACA largely echo what President Trump has said about the program. In deciding to end it in September, he put DACA on track to be phased out in six months and has urged Congress to pass a replacement before that deadline.


But that request got more complicated on Sunday when the president submitted a list of demandsto Congress that he wants fulfilled as part of a deal to keep the 800,000 Dreamers in the country. The White House wants funding for a border wall, additional immigration enforcement personnel, and a crackdown on unaccompanied minors arriving in the U.S., mainly from Central American countries.


In a statement, Democratic leaders Representative Nancy Pelosi (D–Cali.) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.), rebuked the list as “anathema to the Dreamers, to the immigrant community and to the vast majority of Americans.”


DACA’s expiration, currently set for March, would make the hundreds of thousands of Dreamers eligible for deportation.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what she says at a Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit. I''m sure they were all DemoQuacks in attendance, so she's speaking to appease the audience.

That said, her views are very different than the America First Agenda and what Trump believes and knows has to be done. That said, her views are no different than what we're finding a lot of Republicans in Congress and even in our anti-illegal immigration movement believe when it comes to DACA. Mark Krikorian, CIS, and Ira Mehlman of FAIR are the "immigration hawks" who met with the White House in the early spring and laid out this DACA deal to give some type of conditional resident permit to the illegal aliens in that program in trade for stricter immigration controls. I don't know if Roy Beck was involved in those meetings or not, the only ones mentioned in the articles I read were Krikorian and Mehlman but it implied others were involved but didn't name them.

I don't believe the House will ever pass such a bill. Trump doesn't want such a bill and I think he'll veto it if there is one. But all of our issues are getting lots of media exposure and a great deal of attention through this, so I think Trump knows nothing will happen this year on our bills we want passed, because the votes just aren't there in the Senate, so he's going to fling into the mid-terms and try to win more Senate seats so they can pass without a deal on DACA in 2019.

"Immigration Hawks" who would consider any deal on DACA, amnesty for illegal alien dreamers, betray the nation. No amnesty deal has ever been finite, it only expands and goes on and on and on. The groups, the individuals who express any support for amnesty in exchange for promised enforcement and ending illegal immigration seem like they have learned nothing over three decades and with full knowledge that democrats crave these bodies for voters.

Any amnesty granted under a republican opens all doors to future amnesties, legalization and citizenship for millions of illegal aliens. If President Trump told them I want to deal on DACA, the so called "Hawks" should have said "no deal" sir, you do not have honest partners.

Absolutely!! Betrayal is exactly what it is. I posted one of the articles about Mark Krikorian back in March. I guess people missed it.

I would disagree. Unlike Donald Trump, Ivanka's position on DACA has been very consistent. And to think she has no influence over her father would be very naive (IMO).

This evening on FOX, former Governor Mike Huckabee is also pushing DACA and comprehensive immigration reform. He says if they could get 7 or 8 democrats they could get it through.

It's very naive of you to think someone like Donald Trump is influenced by anyone, let alone his young and inexperienced children. Last time I checked, he's having to run cover on their activities, not the other way around.
