Trump ‘Will Never Allow For Mass Amnesty’ After Floating Working With Dems On Immigration

President Donald Trump said on election night that he is open to bipartisan work on immigration with the Democrats who will help run the new Congress in January, even as Vice President JD Vance cautioned Republicans against any amnesty. The exchange matters because Republicans lost ground in both chambers, and the party is now debating how to respond, according to Daily Caller.

Speaking with Fox News hosts Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier, Trump described Democrats as holding power without full control, since he can veto bills. He said he likes producing results and believes immigration is an area where the parties might cooperate. A White House official, speaking exclusively to the Daily Caller, stressed that blanket legalization for people in the country illegally is off the table.

Democrats have attacked the administration's enforcement record. According to Newsweek, the Democratic National Committee adopted two resolutions in August, one urging Congress to abolish ICE and wind down immigration detention, and both pressing for limits on Department of Homeland Security funding.

Vance blamed voter anger over the war for defections by 2024 Trump supporters. He said he could accept changes to enforcement, such as targeting employers of illegal labor, but added that anyone promoting amnesty is lying.
