DREAMERS/IMMIGRATION/TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA: “Ivanka Trump on Monday [10-9-17] night publicly waded into the immigration debate for the first time, calling the plight of Dreamers a ‘very complicated issue that needs a long-term congressional fix.’
Addressing the Obama-era executive action that protected from deportation about 800,000 young, undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children — a group referred to as ‘Dreamers’ — Ivanka Trump expressed sympathy, calling them ‘innocent people’ who deserve a ‘long-term fix.’…
The White House’s new demands for any deal to protect Dreamers included the construction of a wall along the Mexican border — which alone is a deal breaker for the Democrats who said they struck a deal with Trump on DACA last month — and hiring 10,000 more immigration agents, among other measures aimed to crack down on illegal immigration.
Ivanka Trump was speaking on a panel at the 2017 ‘Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit’ at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C., when she was asked to weigh in on the status of the Dreamers. The audience, which included Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Min.) and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, was treated to a surprise a capella performance by the singer Jewel, as entrees were served.”
