Trump open to immigration talks with Democrats after midterms, no amnesty

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Monday that President Donald Trump is open to working with Democrats on immigration after the midterms, but firmly ruled out any amnesty for undocumented immigrants. Mullin said Trump has not yet discussed specific policy changes, though the president has shifted his tone on deportations, calling his previous approach too aggressive. Mullin noted he has received calls from Democratic colleagues and relayed them to Trump, who agreed to begin discussions. Mullin rejected amnesty as a solution, saying it will never happen, but suggested Congress could address legal status for DACA recipients. He praised Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's immigration crackdown, as an "excellent choice" for chief of staff.
