Congressives Hispanic Democrats stated on Wednesday that they want to use their majority in Congress to negotiate an immigration agreement with Donald Trump.
Senator Rubén Gallego and elected representatives Bobby Pulido, Henry Cuéllar, Vicente González and Joaquín Castro met with members of the Corporate Action Coalition for Immigration and the Southern Texas Construction Association to address the scenario opened by election results.
The meeting took place shortly after Trump appointed as his chief of staff Stephen Miller, considered the chief architect of the repression of immigrants, with massive searches and deportations, despite the discontent expressed by Latin voters in the elections.
Despite Miller's rise, congressmen advocate the need for a migratory reform that alleviates the situation of millions of Latins who have lived and worked in the country for decades in an irregular situation.
Trump himself stated on Sunday in an interview with the TV program ‘60 minutes’ that his deportation policy may have been ‘too harsh’, that it injured him electorally and that he wants to negotiate with the Democrats a migratory agreement.
