President Donald Trump said Monday “there won’t be amnesty” for immigrants living in the country illegally, walking back comments from a weekend interview with CBS’s Nancy Cordes, according to AM 560.
The remarks followed renewed debate over a potential Reagan-style immigration deal, with Chicago-area callers divided on amnesty, a proposed census-linked provision and the role of White House aide Stephen Miller.
Trump also repeated claims about migration levels and crime under former President Joe Biden’s administration. Those figures could not be verified against an official source.
Dan Proft, an AM 560 host, said in his commentary that a Reagan-era immigration deal contributed to California’s political shift toward Democrats. The claim reflects Proft’s opinion and was not independently confirmed.
Four callers from Bloomingdale, the Northwest Side, Burr Ridge and Schaumburg phoned into the program with differing views on the proposal, according to AM 560. Their full names were not provided in available reporting.
The White House had not issued additional comment on the shift in position as of Tuesday, according to AM 560.
