According to comprehensive reports from foreign media, on Tuesday (January 9), Trump unusually held a bipartisan meeting in front of reporters at the White House, lasting about an hour, with a total of 25 members of Congress attending, including 16 senators and 9 representatives, of which 15 are Republicans and 10 are Democrats, most of whom are long-time advocates for immigration reform.
"I am confident that the Democrats and Republicans, the people sitting in this room, really want to get something done," Trump told the 25 members of Congress and the reporters present in the meeting room, "We should put the country before the party and reach a permanent solution to the problem, rather than a temporary fix."
"Let’s see if we can do something, I really believe we have this opportunity, I think it is quite important, your discussions affect 800,000 people, many will be impacted. From a security perspective, including American residents."
Trump stated that the United States needs stronger borders to prevent drugs from illegally entering the country and insisted on ending "chain migration" and the "green card lottery"; he said these are "people that other countries do not want," "and the United States has accepted these people."
"I have not seen a merit-based immigration system in any of our bills, I firmly believe the American people want us to have this system."
The Trump administration announced last September the temporary termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and gave Congress six months to propose legislative solutions for permanent immigration reform. This deadline will expire on March 5 of this year.
Additionally, President Trump stated at the meeting that he could accept a two-phase immigration reform, first addressing DACA and border security issues, followed by comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
In this regard, White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders stated at a regular press conference on the afternoon of the 9th that the current focus is on four issues: DACA, the border wall, chain migration, and the green card lottery, with other immigration reform matters to be addressed in the second phase.
The White House issued a statement after the meeting saying that the participants "reached an agreement to negotiate a bill addressing four urgently needed reforms: border security, chain migration, the green card lottery, and DACA."
Trump convened the immigration meeting to set four immigration reform initiatives, which aligns with the recent release by the WorldWay Immigration Group of the "Top Five Immigration Trends of 2018": the largest immigration reform in 30 years initiated by the United States, with immigration policies tightening unprecedentedly. For investors, 2018 is destined to be an extraordinary year, but when it comes to immigrating to the United States, it is crucial to avoid hesitation and indecision; policies are subject to change, and seizing the current opportunity is the most important thing.
