Hadn’t thought of that. Wouldn’t Dems take this deal–de facto amnesty (“forbearance without legalization”) in exchange for letting ICE deport some criminals? They could legalize in a future Congress–they’d still have an issue for 2028 (‘Second class citizens’).
The problem with this theory is that Douthat asks Trump if he’s talking about “some kind of legal status for the landscapers” and Trump says “Yeah.” That’s not “forebearance without legalization.”
