WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the immigration executive order his administration was planning would be "merit-based."
"We're going to take care of DACA because I'm going to be doing, in the not too distant future, pretty soon, I'm going to be signing a new immigration action - very, very big merit-based immigration action - that based on the DACA decision, I'll be able to do," Trump told reporters at the White House Rose Garden, using the acronym for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
