Trump says "if they’re good people working in a landscaping company" immigrants could stay in the US

President Donald Trump said in a CBS interview broadcast Sunday that his deportation policy had been excessively harsh and contributed to Republican losses in the midterms, and that he saw a possible immigration agreement with the Democratic majority. The CBS appearance was his first major interview after Republicans lost both chambers. He gave no specifics; shortly after Friday's taping, he named Stephen Miller, a central figure in his restrictive immigration agenda, as White House chief of staff. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer criticized that move. The interview followed enforcement operations in several cities that raised arrests; two U.S. citizens were reportedly killed by federal officers during protests against those operations. Trump said people in the country illegally who are murderers or drug traffickers should be deported, while signaling openness to allowing employed immigrants, some of whom pay taxes, to stay.
