Trump concedes immigration policy may have been too tough

foxnews.com —

President Donald Trump admitted his immigration enforcement may have been "too tough" in his first interview since the midterm elections, suggesting the policy hurt him politically. Trump told CBS News that his deportation approach "both helped and hurt," citing high marks for border security but conceding that removing "good" people with jobs and tax payments caused backlash. He said the policy "might be too tough" and "ultimately that hurt me." The president suggested an immigration deal with the incoming Democratic Congress is "doable," noting some Democrats are willing to work on border enforcement. A Fox News poll showed immigration was the only issue where Republicans led Democrats.
