A group of "Dreamers" meet with now-President Trump at Trump Tower in 2013. President Trump told a top Democratic senator Friday that he did not want to "hurt" young immigrants who have been living illegally in the U.S. since childhood but are otherwise law-abiding. "We don't want to hurt those kids," Trump said, according to Durbin's recounting of the lunch conversation. Trump's team has indicated he will immediately clamp down on illegal immigration by launching workplace raids and curtailing new entrants and refugees in the first days of his new administration. Under the "Bridge Act," Trump could end Obama's executive actions but also give Dreamers a three -year temporary deferral of deportation while Congress considers broader immigration law changes.
