总统唐纳德·特朗普对两党移民协议的试探正在华盛顿遭遇怀疑之墙。
President Donald Trump’s flirtation with a bipartisan immigration deal is running into a wall of skepticism in Washington.
一方面，民主党人对特朗普在苏西·威尔斯离职后晋升斯蒂芬·米勒为幕僚长的决定嗤之以鼻。米勒为其强硬移民政策的操刀手，目前几乎没有迹象表明他在移民问题上有所软化。
For one, Democrats scoffed at Trump’s decision to promote Stephen Miller, the architect of his hardline immigration policies, to chief of staff following the departure of Susie Wiles. There’s little indication that Miller has softened on immigration whatsoever.
尽管特朗普在接受哥伦比亚广播公司采访时承认其驱逐政策可能“过于严厉”，并称两党协议可能“可行”，但白宫内部许多人一致认为，特朗普与新获得权力的民主党人之间存在着不可逾越的巨大分歧。
And while Trump acknowledged in a CBS interview that his deportation policy might “be too tough” and said a bipartisan deal could be “doable,” many in the White House agree there’s simply far too much daylight between Trump and newly-empowered Democrats.
一名行政官员对《semafor》表示，双方之间“差距太大，不可能炮制出疯狂的法案”。该官员补充说：“民主党人几乎会立刻过度越权，绝不会有大赦。”
There’s “too big a margin” between the two sides “for it not to be a crazy bill,” one administration official told Semafor.“The Dems are going to overreach almost immediately, there will be no amnesty,” the official added.
尽管如此，特朗普周一暗示米勒将寻求与民主党合作，同时迅速为移民协议可以包含的内容划清了界限：“我们不会搞大赦或类似的事情，”特朗普说。
Still, Trump on Monday suggested that Miller would look to work with Democrats, while quickly drawing a clear line on what an immigration deal could include: “We’re not going to have amnesty or anything,” Trump said.
白宫女发言人泰勒·罗杰斯在一份声明中表示，特朗普的“强硬移民政策保持不变”。
White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement that Trump’s “strong immigration policy remains unchanged.”
罗杰斯表示：“本届政府将继续把最恶劣的罪犯从我国清除出去。”她指责前总统乔·拜登的政府制造了移民危机。“民主党人对我们国家做过的事不会被遗忘，总统愿意与任何人合作，以确保此类事情不再发生。”
“The administration will continue removing the worst of the worst from our country,” Rogers said, blaming former President Joe Biden’s administration for creating an immigration crisis. “What the Democrats did to our country will not be forgotten, and the president is willing to work with anyone to ensure it never happens again.”
鉴于米勒的过往记录，民主党人对与他合作毫无兴趣。众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周一将这名白宫幕僚贬为“彻头彻尾的种族主义者”，并补充说他“对与这种人合作零兴趣”。
Democrats have no interest in working with Miller given his record. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries dismissed the White House aide on Monday as “a stone-cold racist,” adding that he has “zero interest in working with that kind of individual.”
杰弗里斯大力宣扬《梦想与承诺法案》，将其作为民主党希望在两院推进的全面移民法案，尽管该法案明年不太可能打破参议院的冗长辩论阻挠。一些议员也将《尊严法案》视为边境安全和移民改革的一个潜在两党妥协方案，但该法案在本届国会中就已经导致共和党分裂，共和党人对其中针对“追梦人”的合法居留途径犹豫不决。
Jeffries has talked up the “Dream and Promise Act” as a comprehensive immigration bill that Democrats want to move through both chambers, though it’s unlikely to break a filibuster in the Senate next year. Some lawmakers are also looking to the “Dignity Act” as one potential bipartisan compromise on border security and immigration reform, but that bill already fractured Republicans this Congress who balked at its pathways to legal residency for “Dreamers.”
拉丁裔投票组织Voto Latino的总裁兼首席执行官玛丽亚·特蕾萨·库马尔周二在全国妇女和家庭伙伴关系组织活动上表示：“拉丁裔期望民主党做三件事：追究美国移民及海关执法局的责任、提供获得公民身份的途径，以及降低成本。”
“The three things that Latinos expected Democrats to do is ICE accountability, pathway to citizenship, and to lower costs,” María Teresa Kumar, president and CEO of Voto Latino, said at a National Partnership for Women and Families Event Tuesday.
众议员维罗尼卡·埃斯科巴（民主党-得克萨斯州）表示，《尊严法案》将在下一届国会重新提交，并且可能会进行改写，以纳入更多民主党人的优先事项，因为他们现在将控制众议院和参议院。
Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, said the “Dignity Act” would be reintroduced next Congress and could be rewritten to include more Democratic priorities now that they’d be in control of the House and Senate.
她也承认米勒将是“一个问题”，但补充说，“最终决定权在唐纳德·特朗普手中，他曾说过他愿意达成协议。让我们看看他是否言而有信。”
She too, conceded that Miller would be “a problem” but added “the ultimate decision is Donald Trump’s, and he said he was open to making a deal. Let’s see if he’s a man of his word or not.”
一名特朗普顾问呼应了总统对任何广泛移民大赦协议的拒绝，但提出了一个胜算渺茫的计划：“如果（特朗普）能够让民主党人赞成增加对美国移民及海关执法局和执法部门的拨款，以专门打击杀人犯、强奸犯、毒贩和最顽固的罪犯，我认为这对国家来说将是一笔划算的交易。”该顾问强调，特朗普和米勒将专注于做“对MAGA基本盘最有利的事”。
A Trump adviser echoed the president’s dismissal of any sort of deal on broad immigration amnesty, but suggested a longshot plan: “If [Trump] can get the Democrats on board with increased funding for ICE and law enforcement to specifically target murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and the most hardened criminals, I think that’d be a great deal for the country.”That adviser emphasized that Trump and Miller will be focused on doing “what’s best for the MAGA base.”
