Trump to support pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million DACA-eligible immigrants

President Trump plans to release a legislative framework for immigration early next week that would establish a path to citizenship for the 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants who were eligible for legal status protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The large-scale amnesty will factor into a broader immigration reform package that would curb chain migration via family reunficiation and end the diversity visa lottery, which supplies green cards at random to applicants from under-represented countries.
