Democrat Rep-elect Mike McGuire said that Democrats won’t compromise on ICE in any potential deal.
McGuire said, “We need to rein in ICE and hold ICE accountable.”
Host Elex Michaelson asked, “Are you interested in a deal on immigration? And is there anything you’d be willing to give the other side to bring some sort of deal home?”
McGuire answered, “I’m not going to compromise on ICE. Look, I think that — here’s what we need to do: We need comprehensive immigration reform. We need to advance a pathway to citizenship for millions of residents who are working day and night, paying their taxes, paying into Social Security. And we need to rein in ICE and hold ICE accountable. It can’t be one or the other. It has to be both. We heard from Donald Trump just earlier this week, who said that he’s gone too far on the immigration crackdown.”
The White House doubled down on Trump’s support for a strong border after Trump spoke out on a potential deal.
A White House official pointed out, “The President never said the word amnesty.”
The White House on Monday morning wouldn’t rule out the administration working with Democrats on a “deal” for illegal immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for more than a decade as Republicans prepare to lose control of Congress in January.
President Donald Trump, in his first sit-down interview since sweeping GOP midterm losses, opened the door to the possibility of considering amnesty.
“The President never said the word amnesty,” a White House official insisted to Fox News Digital.
“We want Democrats to show their cards,” the official revealed.
