White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said Tuesday that many people eligible who were eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program may have chosen not to sign up because they are "too lazy to get off their ass."
Kelly made the remark on Capitol Hill days ahead of Congress' first government funding deadline since last month's partial government shutdown, which centered on extending the program.
President Trump said he will support making the program permanent only if lawmakers agree to border wall funding and restrictions on legal immigration.
Kelly, speaking to reporters, addressed why Trump would support a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million people, rather than the smaller subset currently protected by DACA.
