Trump calls US immigration policy 'maybe too tough' after midterm losses

vrt.be (Dutch) —

President Trump said the U.S. government's immigration policy was "maybe too tough" in a '60 Minutes' interview, marking a notable shift on a key issue of his second term. The admission follows devastating midterm losses for Republicans, with Democrats winning majorities in both the House and Senate. Trump acknowledged the pain of deporting people with good jobs who committed only one offense by entering illegally. He expressed willingness to work with Democrats on migration but gave no details. This contrasts with his statement a year ago that immigration raids had "not gone far enough."
