White House border czar Tom Homan flatly ruled out any “amnesty” for illegal immigrants as part of President Trump’s plans — and said he won’t accept an amnesty bill from Congress, either.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Mr. Homan said he wanted to tamp down on news coverage suggesting Mr. Trump is eyeing leniency for migrants who work on farms or in service jobs.
“I’ve read a lot of news stories out here that are inaccurate. There will be no amnesty,” he said.
He was then asked about a new bipartisan House bill that envisions a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant “Dreamers,” and some form of legal status, short of potential citizenship, for other illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for at least five years.
“The president will not approve any amnesty,” Mr. Homan reiterated.
His comments come as the Trump administration has sown confusion
