WASHINGTON (AP) -- Young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and now here illegally can "rest easy," President Donald Trump said Friday, telling the "dreamers" they will not be targets for deportation under his immigration policies.

Trump, in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, said his administration is "not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals."

The president, who took a hard line on immigration as a candidate, vowed anew to fulfill his promise to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. But he stopped short of demanding that funding for the project be included in a spending bill Congress must pass by the end of next week in order to keep the government running.

"I want the border wall. My base definitely wants the border wall," Trump said in the Oval Office interview. Asked whether he would sign legislation that does not include money for the project, he said, "I just don't know yet." Throughout the campaign, he had firmly and repeatedly guaranteed that Mexico, not U.S. taxpayers, would pay for the wall.

2. What good is a wall?

I really want every pro wall rethug to explain how a wall will do any good.

I would just get a tourist visa and overstay it.

Nice graffiti covered eyesore you have there trumpy and morans!

6. National Monument to white wing's bigotry/hatred.

[susanna]

12. Well said.

My question about that border wall is this...in what way would it not be viewed through history's lens like the Berlin Wall?

And by that I mean that it is destined to come down?

I think too much. I should stop that.

[El Mimbreno]

20. Cowards build walls; let's make bridges. nt

[susanna]

28. I like that. n/t

[Stryst]

13. Well, the wall would just be the first step

Next would be a "national security threat" that made us totally close the borders, so no one enters or leaves.

Do any of you remember that cartoon on MTV, Aeon Flux? I'm pretty sure that the Trump thumpers all have that kind of fucked up border wall fantasy. To them it's not just a wall, it's our fortress against scary brown people. And what's the point of a fortress if you just let people into it?

30. If that was the end goal then wouldn't they be pushing for the wall to be on the Canadian border?

I mean, if people are going to flee, then they are more likely to flee up north than down south.

[Stryst]

32. They havn't built a base of resentment against Canadians like they have with Mexicans

But if Canada carries forward with pot legalization, that will be the excuse to ramp up scrutiny of anyone crossing the North border.

21. it will be used to keep us from leaving post-roe

i expect some states will want them too

[defacto7]

4. That means "don't rest easily" nt

[duncang]

More like Oh, shit they are at the door.

[Historic NY]

7. "Believe me" !!

[Rural_Progressive]

8. I know that's making the folks around here feel a lot more comfortable

That's why so many skilled Mexican orchard workers have already left. I have spoken with several neighbors who own orchards. Not enough skilled workers to do the late winter/early spring work necessary to have healthy trees that bear well in the late summer and fall.

Be ready to pay a premium price for apples and cherries this year.

18. To be honest I wont notice much difference as most fresh produce is well beyond my budget anyway

16. This happens in mob and spy movies all the time

they convince someone to don't worry, everything will be fine for you, you're perfectly safe, here's a sandwich and a soda so you can trust us. Then they shoot the person mid-bite.

[cstanleytech]

17. Man speak with fork tongue. nt

[KingCharlemagne]

19. I wonder what percentage of Americans start out by assuming that

every word out of his mouth is a LIE and that they should believe exactly the opposite?

I bet it's already over 50%. I'm not talking mere disapproval, I'm talking about assuming that the Chief Executive can only tell lies.

[MrScorpio]

22. Trump lies about everything

Everyone needs to take that into consideration

23. Mother f****** total liar.

He already has arrested at least 1 dreamer and probably more. He's like the scorpion getting on the turtles back, oh I won't sting you, and he does it anyway because being hateful and horrible is the way he is and he won't change because he likes hurting people. How horrid, trying to get them to relax so he can arrest more of them, that's all this is.

[CountAllVotes]

24. Riiigghhhtttt!! Rest easy my arse !!!

and they'll be coming along to collect you illegals as tRump lies & attempts to build a stupid 'effin Wall of the Idiot!

[beastie boy]

25. Just like the United passenger.

Makes it easier for Los Federales to drag them out of the country.

[mitch96]

26. 'rest easy'

Yup, back on the farm we wanted the animals nice and quiet and not upset before we slaughtered them. Made the process real easy..
