Trump says he'll propose a way to citizenship for 'Dreamers'

The L.A. Times reports:

President Trump said on Wednesday that he would send Congress a legislative proposal to provide legal status and ultimately citizenship to young immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children and now face deportation.

The president told reporters he wanted to give the so-called Dreamers a way to achieve full citizenship in 10 to 12 years.

"Tell them not to be concerned,” Trump said. “Tell them not to worry. We will solve the problem."

While Republicans, mostly in the House, have resisted such a move as “amnesty,” the president said a solution is “up to the Democrats."
