Trump plan offers citizenship
path to 1.8 million immigrants
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
White House unveiled a proposal
Thursday that provides a pathway to
citizenship for 1.8 million young immi-
grants living in the country illegally, in
exchange for new restrictions on legal
immigration and $25 billion in border
security. The plan was applauded
by some in Congress, but blasted by
conservative activists as “amnesty”
and slammed by a slew of Democrats,
who accused President Donald Trump
of holding “Dreamers” hostage to his
hard-line immigration agenda.
Senior White House officials cast
the plan as a centrist compromise that
could win support from both parties
and enough votes to pass the Senate.
But it comes with a long list of conces-
sions that many Democrats, and also
conservative Republicans, especially
in the House, may find impossible to
swallow.
The plan would provide a pathway
to citizenship for the roughly 690,000
younger immigrants protected from
deportation by the Obama-era Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals program
— as well as hundreds of thousands
of others who independent estimates
say qualify for the program, but never
applied.
Trump announced last year that he
was doing away with the program, but
gave Congress until March to come up
with a legislative fix.
The plan would not allow parents of
those immigrants to seek lawful status,
the officials said.
In exchange, Trump’s plan would
dramatically overhaul the legal immi-
gration system. Immigrants would only
be allowed to sponsor their spouses
and underage children to join them in
the U.S., and not their parents, adult
children or siblings. The officials said
it would only end new applications
for visas, allowing those already in the
pipeline to be processed. Still, immi-
gration activists said the move could
cut legal immigration in half.
It would also end a visa lottery
aimed at diversity, which drew
Trump’s attention after the New York
City truck attack last year, redirecting
the allotment to bringing down the
existing backlog in visa applications.
On Wednesday, Trump said he was
open to a pathway to citizenship for the
younger immigrants. “We’re going to
morph into it,” Trump told reporters.
“It’s going to happen, at some point

in the future, over a period of 10 to
12 years.” It was a reversal for the
president, who had previously said he
opposed a pathway to citizenship for
Dreamer immigrants.
Under the plan, recipients could
have their legal status revoked due to
criminal behavior or national security
threats, the officials said, and eventual
citizenship would require still-unspeci-
fied work and education requirements
— and a finding that the immigrants
are of “good moral character.”
The nonpartisan Migration Policy
Institute said it believes the largest
share of the White House’s 1.8 million
people who’d be eligible for citizen-
ship — 1.3 million — are people who
currently meet all of DACA’s eligibility
requirements. These include years
in the U.S., their ages now and when
they entered this country, and whether
they have a high school or equivalent
education.
Another 400,000 are people who’d
be eligible for DACA protection but
for their education. And 100,000 more
are people who are under age 15 —
the minimum age allowed for most
people requesting protection under the
program.
Trump ended the DACA program in
September, setting a March 5 deadline
for Congress to provide legal protec-
tions or the program’s recipients would
once again be subject to deportation.
The officials said Trump would only
sign legislation providing those protec-
tions if the other immigration changes
he is proposing are implemented.
Trump earlier this month had
deferred to a bipartisan, bicameral
group of lawmakers to craft an immi-
gration proposal, saying he would sign
whatever they passed. But as talks on
Capitol Hill broke down — in part
because of controversy Trump ginned
up using vulgar language to describe
African countries — the White House
decided to offer its own framework.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell and others had also
complained the president had failed
to sufficiently lay out his priorities,
leaving them guessing about what he
might be willing to sign. One official
said the Thursday release represents a
plan for the Senate, with the adminis-
tration expecting a different bill to pass
the House.
McConnell thanked the president
and his aides for providing the outline.
“I am hopeful that as discussions
continue in the Senate on the subject of
immigration, Members on both sides
of the aisle will look to this framework
for guidance as they work towards an
agreement,” he said in a statement.
Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., an
immigration hard-liner, called Trump’s
plan “generous and humane, while also
being responsible” and said he’d work
toward its passage. He said that besides
protecting DACA recipients, “It also
will prevent us from ending up back
here in five years by securing the border
and putting an end to extended-family
chain migration.”

BRIEFLY
Report: Trump wanted Mueller fired,
but backed off
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump
ordered the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller last
June, but he backed off the order after White House lawyer
Don McGahn threatened to resign, according to a shocking
report Thursday in The New York Times.
The newspaper reports that Trump demanded Mueller’s
firing just weeks after the special counsel was first appointed
by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
McGahn said he would not deliver the order to the Justice
Department, according to The Times, which cites four people
familiar with the request by the president.
Trump argued at the time that Mueller could not be fair
because of a dispute over golf club fees that he said Mueller
owed at a Trump golf club in Sterling, Va. The president
also believed Mueller had a conflict of interest because he
worked for the same law firm that was representing Trump’s
son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner.
The response from Democrats was nearly immediate.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., vice chairman of the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, said that if the report in The
Times is true, Trump has crossed a “red line.”
The report comes as Mueller moves ever closer to
interviewing Trump himself. The president said Wednesday
that he would gladly testify under oath — although a White
House official quickly said afterward that Trump did not
mean he was volunteering to testify.
Last June, when Trump was considering how to fire
Mueller, the special counsel’s probe had not progressed far,
at least not in public. At that time he had yet to call on any
major witnesses to testify and had not yet issued any charges
or signed any plea deals. But that would change just a few
months later, when federal agents would arrest former Trump
campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and ultimately turn
him into a cooperating witness.
More than 20 White House employees
quizzed by Mueller, lawyer says
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 20 White House
employees have given interviews to the special counsel
in his probe of possible obstruction of justice and Trump
campaign ties to Russian election interference, according to a
document released Thursday that underscores the breadth of
the investigation.
The document, released by President Donald Trump’s
attorney John Dowd, details what the White House calls
its unprecedented cooperation with Robert Mueller’s
investigation, including that it has turned over more than
20,000 pages of records. The president’s 2016 campaign has
turned over more than 1.4 million pages.
However, the number of voluntary interviews, including
eight people from the White House counsel’s office, also
suggests the scope of Mueller’s work so far. And the
document confirms Mueller’s interest in the circumstances
surrounding two men the president fired: former FBI
Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser
Michael Flynn.
An additional 28 people affiliated with the Trump
campaign have also been interviewed by either the special
counsel or congressional committees probing Russian
election meddling, the document notes. It does not name the
people.
According to Dowd, the White House produced nearly
13,000 pages of documents related to Comey and “issues
regarding Michael Flynn and Russia.”
