President Donald Trump is facing blowback from some conservatives who say he has turned his back on his aggressive stance against illegal immigration after his comments on Sunday hinting at his openness to making an amnesty-like deal with Democrats.

Conservative commentators and MAGA figures balked at Trump’s admission during a CBS News 60 Minutes interview, which aired Sunday evening, that he would “love” to work with the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate to provide legal status to millions of illegal immigrants in the United States who do not have criminal histories.
