Trump says 'too tough' deportation policies hurt him in the midterms
"I think it was too tough," Trump said in an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday night. "And I think -- I think ultimately, that hurt me," he added.
In an interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, President Donald Trump expressed regret that his deportation policies may have hurt his party's performance in the recent midterm elections. Trump stated that the tough stance on immigration was "too tough" and that it ultimately hurt him. The president acknowledged that his administration had made significant strides in securing the border and removing "bad" immigrants, but also noted that individuals with good jobs were affected.
Trump expressed openness to negotiating with Democrats on immigration, suggesting that a deal could be reached to provide a pathway to citizenship for certain immigrants, particularly those who have been in the country for an extended period and have worked in low-wage jobs such as cleaning, waitressing, and landscaping.
