It was a beautiful ceremony, and a moving reminder. Of our nation's proud history of welcoming legal immigrants from all over the world into our national family. I told them that the beauty and majesty of citizenship is that it draws no distinctions of race, or class, or faith, or gender, or background. We believe in a safe and lawful system of immigration one that upholds our laws our traditions and our most cherished values. Unfortunately, our immigration system has been badly broken for a very long time as a candidate for president. I promised I would fix this crisis. And I intend to keep that promise one way or the other. To physically secure our border, the plan includes $ 5. 7 billion for a strategic deployment of physical barriers, or a wall. This is not a 2, 000 mile concrete structure, from sea- to- sea. These are steel barriers in high priority locations. In order to build the trust and goodwill necessary to begin real immigration reform there are two more elements to my plan. Number one is three years of legislative relief. For 70, 000 darker recipients brought here unlawfully by their parents at a young age many years ago. This extension will give them access to work permits, social security numbers and protection from deportation, most importantly. Secondly, our proposal provides a three year extension of temporary protected status or TPS. This means that 300, 000 immigrants whose protected status is facing expiration will now have three more years of certainty. So the congress can work on a larger immigration deal which everybody wants, Republicans and Democrats. In recent weeks, we have met with large numbers of Democrat lawmakers to hear their ideas and suggestions. By incorporating the priorities of rank- and- file Democrats in our plan We hope they will offer their enthusiastic support and I think many will. This is a common sense compromise both parties should embrace. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"President Trump Offers Protection to 'Dreamers' If Democrats Fund Border Wall","description":"President Donald Trump sought to break the government shutdown impasse Saturday, offering to extend protections for young people brought to the country illegally as children, if Democrats give him $5.7 billion for his long-promised border wall","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/CBrlw49G/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-01-19T22:14:52.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/CBrlw49G.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/CBrlw49G/","duration":"PT2M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/CBrlw49G/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
