WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump denied on Monday that his administration is considering amnesty for illegal immigrants, clarifying remarks he made in an interview over the weekend. During an interview with 60 Minutes, the president suggested he might be open to striking a deal with Democrats on immigration, though he did not confirm any such plans.
Clarifying Remarks on Immigration
Trump emphasized that his administration’s deportation policy remains unchanged, stating, “We have a very strong deportation policy. There’s no amnesty, no, no anything. We keep that, but we focus on the worst of the worst.” He reiterated his focus on removing violent criminals from the country, saying, “We want to get the murderers out. We’ve got most of them out. We’ve got most of the really bad.”
Border Crisis and Criticism of Biden
Trump reflected on the border crisis during President Joe Biden’s administration, claiming that Biden allowed “25 million people to come in,” of which “11,888 murderers, most of whom committed more than one murder.” He added, “We’ve gotten most of them.”
Working with Groups on Illegal Immigrants
Trump stated that his administration is working with various groups to discuss the situation of productive illegal immigrants, noting that many are “paying taxes” and have “good jobs now.” However, he made it clear that no amnesty is in the works, saying, “They came in. They knew the law.”
Calling Out Countries for Sending Criminals
He also criticized countries that “emptied their prisons” into the United States, allowing drug dealers and criminals to cross the border. Trump warned, “What Biden did to this country should never, ever be forgotten, and I hope the Democrats will not try and allow that to happen again.”
