President of the United States Donald Trump says he is considering eventually granting amnesty to migrants living in the US illegally, according to a tweet sent out Sunday.
The tweet, which has created anger amongst both the Democrat and Republican parties, comes as the US enters its fourth consecutive week of government shut down and is considered to be an attempt to mitigate disagreements over Trump’s border wall policy.
Trump says for now he is only offering to extend legal protections to children brought into the country illegally.
