Trump says he is open to options for immigrants to gain legal residency
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump told television broadcasters Tuesday that he is open to a migration package that could include a process for many people who live without US permits to obtain legal residency.
This was said by someone familiar with the conversation, which took place before Trump gave his speech to Congress at the time of greatest audience.
Trump also said he was open to receiving citizenship so-called Dreamers, people who were brought illegally to the United States as children. Earlier, the president had requested legislation that included citizenship or an amnesty.
At Tuesday's meeting he told attendees that "now is the right time" for a bill as long as both parties are willing to reach "a negotiated solution."
The person familiar with the conversation is not authorized to touch the subject and insisted on staying anonymous.
President Donald Trump already has Secretary of Commerce.
Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday swore in Wilbur Ross, who was confirmed by the Senate by 72 votes to 27 yesterday.
Ross has said that the government will rush to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.
The official promotes commercial interests within the country and abroad. He also oversees the Fisheries Offices, Weather Forecast and the Census.
Ross, 79, has an estimated $ 2.9 billion in wealth and business relationships around the world. He has promised not to take measures that benefit companies in which he has financial interests.
President Donald Trump acknowledged that there are many official posts that have not been filled but says "they are unnecessary."
In an interview with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" broadcast on Tuesday, the president said that those positions are likely to be empty.
"What do all these people do? We do not need so many government jobs," he said.

President Donald Trump says he believes former President Barack Obama is responsible for some of the protests against Republican lawmakers who have exploded in various parts of the country.
In an interview with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" broadcast on Tuesday, the president said: "I think President Obama is to blame because his people are certainly to blame."
President Donald Trump denied that his government is burdened by leaks of information to the press, amid reports that its press secretary, Sean Spicer, is blaming informants within his own department.
In an interview with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" broadcast on Tuesday, the president spoke in response to a version of Politico that Spicer called an "emergency meeting" after details of a match were leaked, and Who checked the phones of his subordinates.
Trump said, "I would have handled it in a different way than Sean, but Sean does things his way and that's fine."
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Tuesday to re-evaluate a rule passed during Barack Obama's presidency to protect marshes and streams from pollution.
An official source said the order will instruct the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to reevaluate the norm that redefined "US water bodies" that must be protected.
President Donald Trump will give a speech before both chambers of Congress on Tuesday that will serve as an opportunity to focus his young government on the economic issues that took him to the top position of the country.
His allies hope the speech will help him overcome the problems and setbacks he has suffered in just over a month leading up to the position. His advisers say the speech will serve to show progress in fulfilling their campaign promises, such as pulling the United States out of the Pacific Rim's trade pact, and outlining the strategy for future issues such as health care and spending on infrastructure.
