Heres what Trump and Stephen Miller want in exchange for a deal on Dreamers
Its Stephen Millers wish list for immigration in exchange for allowing immigrants to stay in the U.S.
----
The White House is soon expected to include amnesty to hundreds of thousands of young people who were brought to the country illegally as children as part of a hardline immigration reform package supported by many Republicans.
According to a document written by President Donald Trumps Domestic Policy Council obtained by McClatchy, the president is poised to include protections to these so-called Dreamers in return for a dozen reforms. Talking points surrounding these proposals have been circulated to the right-leaning congressional Freedom Caucus, which supports the changes.
The reforms include radically curbing the number of immigrants allowed into the U.S., heightened interior enforcement that would include cracking down on sanctuary cities and more border security that might include funding for Trumps proposed border wall.
The most contentious policies were authored by Stephen Miller, Trumps 32-year-old senior policy advisor, who is ideologically aligned to former White House strategist and alt-right firebrand Steve Bannon. Some of the proposals are so radical that it could be difficult to muster bipartisan support for them.
The proposals also contradict a tentative agreement Trump discussed last month with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that would have granted amnesty to Dreamers in exchange for increased border security.
