Trump claims GOP 'very open' to keeping 'Dreamers' in US, takes shot at 'very difficult' Dems
Fox News
President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to work with Democrats to work out a deal on how to protect some illegal immigrants protected by a 2012 Obama-era order from deportation.
"Dreamers are going to come later, and we have to do something about the Dreamers, because these are people that have been brought here at a very young age, and many of these are middle-aged people now, they don't even speak the language of their country, and yes, we're going to do something about them," Trump said. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"I will work with the Democrats on a plan, and if we can come up with a plan, but the Democrats have made it very, very difficult to do anything. Republicans are very open to the Dreamers. The Dreamers, we're talking many years ago. They were brought into this country many years ago, some of them are no longer young people, and in many cases, they become successful," Trump continued. "They have great jobs. In some cases, they have small businesses. In some cases, they might have large businesses, and we're going to have to do something with them."
