Tom Homan: President Trump Is Being Lobbied by Cabinet Members to Approve Migrant AmnestyNeil Munro 7 May 2026
Border Czar Tom Homan told CBS News that President Donald Trump is talking to his advisors about offering some form of “legal status” to many illegal migrants.
A pro-migration reporter at CBS asked Homan on Wednesday: “Would you support a compromise, sir, that involves giving legal status [amnesty] to the millions of people who are here illegally but are otherwise law-abiding?”
“I’m not gonna get ahead of the President on that,” Homan cautiously responded.
“I work for the President,” Homan added, as the Colombian-born migrant reporter interrupted him to insist that “Something has to be done to address that [illegal migrant] population, or is a solution to deport them all?”
Homan answered:
I’m not going to get ahead of President. You know, the President’s talking to various members of his cabinet, there’s discussions going on. I’m involved in some, but not others, but I’m not going to get ahead of the President on this.
