US President Donald Trump made a statement on Saturday in a bid to end the partial US government shutdown, proposing a 3-year legislative relief for the so-called Dreamer immigrants that could protect them from deportation. The US president also offered protections for immigrants who hold temporary protected status.
Ahead of Trump’s major Saturday announcement on the nation’s longest government shutdown, CNN has reported, citing sources, that the US president would allow Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients – who came to the country as children — also known as «dreamers» — and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) visa holders to remain in the United States.
Describing the US immigration system on Saturday as «badly broken», Trump said: «I am here today to break the logjam and provide Congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis along the southern border».
