After suffering a devastating election loss last Tuesday, the last thing conservatives needed was to tune into 60 Minutes and hear President Donald Trump, who was elected on the promise of mass deportations, tell Ross Douthat that, in retrospect, maybe his deportation policy was "too tough."

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

“But people who are here, and in some cases here for 10 or 15 years, work a deal for them.”

That’s the same thing as amnesty.

Politico's Sophia Cai says that she talked to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Monday morning, who "draws a red line on amnesty" but says he's open to an immigration deal that includes permanent legal status for DACA recipients.

The post continues:

… ‘let’s start working with them and then let’s meet at some point.’” W/ @MyahWard

Better yet, let's ramp up deportations for the two years we have left and not meet at some middle point.
