President-elect Donald Trump is pulling back from some of the immigration policies he proposed as a candidate. Trump is still promising stronger enforcement of immigration laws. He also continues to call for a new wall along the United States southern border with Mexico. But he no longer calls for the removal of 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. His campaign proposal to block all Muslim immigrants was modified before the November 8 presidential election. The new proposal calls for more careful “vetting” of people seeking to enter the United States. Trump says he will cancel some of President Barack Obama’s executive orders, but he is suggesting a willingness to compromise. During the campaign, Trump often talked about ending one immigration order by Obama. It permits about 700,000 immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children to remain in the United States and to apply for work permits. They are sometimes called, “dreamers.” Trump softened his position in a recent discussion with Time magazine. “We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud,” Trump said. “They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs.” Trump also said that he will not try, as he once said during his campaign, to remove all illegal immigrants. Instead, Trump said he will order the removal of undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes. But that will not be easy. The Obama administration faced opposition from some countries that refused to accept the return of their citizens.
