  "summary": "President Trump told 60 Minutes that his administration's hardline immigration enforcement and deportation policies may have been \"too tough.\" Speaking with correspondent Ross Douthat three days after Republicans faced significant midterm election losses, Trump stated that his immigration crackdown \"both helped and hurt\" him at the polls.\n\nAccording to CBS News, Trump believes he received high marks for closing the border and removing \"bad\" individuals, but noted that the policy hurt the party by targeting people who had held good jobs and committed only a single violation for entering the country illegally. He observed that while some people view these actions as great, a large part of the country believes people who are working and paying taxes should be allowed to stay.\n\nThe Hill reports that Trump suggested these deportation policies might have contributed to the GOP's historic election losses. CBS News noted that Republican support declined in heavily Latino areas, such as South Texas, which had trended toward the party two years ago.",
