“We’re working out the legal complexities right now but I’m going to be signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order. I’m going to make DACA a part of it,†President Trump told Noticias Telemundo in an exclusive interview.
JOSÉ DÃAZ-BALART
Mr. President, Latinos are on the frontline in many ways. They're tending our fields, transporting our goods. They're on the frontline in the hospitals and as many as 30,000 hospital workers are DACA recipients and yet you seem to be laser-focused on deporting DACA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP
Yeah.
JOSÉ DÃAZ-BALART
Why?
PRESIDENT TRUMP
I'm not. I'm taking care of DACA. I had a deal with the Democrats and they broke the deal. The DACA could have been taken care of two years ago, but the Democrats broke the deal. All of a sudden they just broke it for no reason. Actually, they had a court case that slightly went their way, and they said, "Oh, let's not talk about the deal anymore". You remember that. We talked about it.
JOSÉ DÃAZ-BALART
Uh-hum.
PRESIDENT TRUMP
The deal was done. DACA is going to be just fine. We’re putting it in. It's going to be just fine. And I am going to be, over the next few weeks, signing an immigration bill that a lot of people don't know about. You have breaking news, but I'm signing a big immigration bill.
JOSÉ DÃAZ-BALART
Is that an executive order?
PRESIDENT TRUMP
I'm going to do a big executive order. I have the power to do it as prresident and I'm going to make DACA a part of it. But, we put it in, and we'll probably going to then be taking it out. We're working out the legal complexities right now, but I'm going to be signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order, which the Supreme Court now, because of the DACA decision, has given me the power to do that.
JOSÉ DÃAZ-BALART
Just so I can understand better, so you're planning to include a provision for DACA under an executive order?
PRESIDENT TRUMP
That is correct.
JOSÉ DÃAZ-BALART
To give the 750,000 people legalization, at least temporary?
PRESIDENT TRUMP
No, what I'm going to do is that they're going to part of a much bigger bill on immigration. It's going to be a very big bill, a very good bill, and merit-based bill and it will include DACA, and I think people are going to be very happy.
