Trump signals he's open to immigration deal in '60 Minutes' interview

Key Points:

• The White House did not rule out working with Democrats on a potential deal for illegal immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for over a decade, following Republican losses in the midterm elections.
• In a "60 Minutes" interview, President Trump expressed openness to immigration reform, acknowledging both the benefits and challenges of immigration and signaling willingness to consider a deal for long-term undocumented immigrants without serious criminal records.
• Trump emphasized his strong stance on immigration enforcement, citing the removal of over 3 million illegal immigrants and securing the border, but also recognized that some undocumented workers contribute positively to the economy and pay taxes.
• Republican Rep. Maria Salazar praised Trump’s comments, linking them to her Dignity Act, which proposes legal status for certain undocumented immigrants who meet specific criteria, though the White House did not clarify the details of any potential deal.
• Trump's comments sparked backlash from immigration restriction advocates who view any amnesty deal as a betrayal that could shift political power away from Republicans, particularly in key states like Texas.
