President Trump on Monday denied that he is planning an amnesty deal with the Democrats after saying on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that he is willing to make a deal for countless illegals to stay in the US.
“I’d love to do something on immigration,” Trump told 60 Minutes host Ross Douthat in a Friday interview that aired Sunday. He went on to say he thinks his deportation agenda hurt Republicans “because we also took people that had good jobs that created one violation or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally.”
“I think it might be too tough,” he added of the mass deportations promise. “Ultimately, that hurt me… the deal would be we would work something out.” He continued, “Let the people that are here and, in some cases, here for 10 and 15 years work a deal for them.” A few months from now, that would start to include illegals that made it across the border when Trump first took office in January 2017.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on to say that the Trump Administration and Congress may “figure out a way” that DACA recipients “can become, maybe, legal permanent citizens or something like this.” Still, he argued that it’s not amnesty, and “we’re never going to allow amnesty to happen.”
During a press conference yesterday, Trump’s comments on 60 Minutes were juxtaposed with his appointment of immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff last week. “Have you told him that you want changes to the deportation policy?” the reporter asked.
“We have a very strong deportation policy. There’s no amnesty,” Trump maintained before giving a nod to his “worst of the worst” policy, which targets illegals who have been convicted of additional crimes after illegally entering the country. “No, no, anything. We keep that, but we focus on the worst of the worst. We want to get the murderers out; we’ve gotten most of them out; we’ve gotten most of the really bad. You know, they allowed, Joe Biden allowed, 100— well, 25 million people to come in. Of that, 11,888 murderers, most of whom committed more than one murder, we’ve gotten most of them. We want to get the worst of the worst, and then we’ll see what happens.”
It can be recalled, however, that the day one message of the Trump Administration was that deportation is not only for violent criminals, but for any of these 25 million who are in the country illegally. As Karoline Leavitt said her the first Trump White House press briefing back in January 2025, “it’s a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that’s exactly what they are,” and will be “subject to deportation.” Trump also promised
But of those who only broke our immigration laws and came here illegally, Trump said, “many of them have good jobs now, they’re productive, some of them are even paying taxes, and we’re seeing what’s going to happen.”
“There won’t be amnesty. Somebody suggested: will there be amnesty? No. But they came in. They knew the law, and we’re working with a lot of different groups to see whether or not— but my policy hasn’t changed. What we are doing is absolutely the worst of the worst. We’re getting the murderers,” he added.
“What Biden did to this country should never, ever be forgotten, and I hope the Democrats will not try and allow that to happen.”
WATCH:
We reported back in December 2023, which was coincidentally the worst month on record for illegal border crossings under Biden, that California went deep blue only after Reagan signed the Amnesty bill in 1986, which caused Whites in the state to be vastly replaced by Hispanics. What they mean when they call America a “melting pot” is replacing America’s identity and blending in nonwhite cultures. A similar trend followed in Texas, with Hispanics outnumbering Whites in census data, which notably does not ask whether people are citizens or not.
Think this is a White Nationalist conspiracy theory? Well, a former Biden administration official was caught on camera in 2024, saying their goal with the mass importation of illegal aliens was meant to “change the demographic of the United States.” He even admitted it’s because “standard” White Americans “are not leftists,” but “Latin Americans are all leftists.”
If Trump allows the millions of people who came in illegally and have jobs and supposedly pay taxes, however, chain migration will increase, the illegals that get amnesty (or whatever they call it) will have kids, they’ll change our electorate forever, and fundamentally change America’s culture and identity. Then, Republicans will never win another election; they’ll vote in Communism, and the very ideas that our country was founded upon will be destroyed. They don’t respect or understand our culture, history, or monuments.
States like Arizona and Texas, which flipped blue this election cycle, will stay blue and never go back. The border states, which are all now run by Democrats, will see another unfettered mass invasion when the next Democratic President conspires with the Democratic governors. It will be worse than Joe Biden, and if Trump does what Reagan did, it will only further the precedent of Republicans granting permanent residency or citizenship to the next batch of millions.
When asked again about making a deal with the Democrats later in the briefing, Trump said, “They’re going to try it. You know, I’m open to it,” before doubling down on claims that it won’t be amnesty.
“We’re not going to have amnesty or anything. We’re going to, you know, people are going to do it the right way, have to do it. It’s unfair to other people, but certainly, I’m open to it,” he said.
