部分参议院共和党人在特朗普总统提出可能与民主党达成协议后,表示愿意重新审视移民政策,但他们坚持大赦依然不在考虑范围内。
Some Senate Republicans are open to revisiting immigration policy after President Donald Trump floated a possible deal with Democrats, but they insist amnesty remains off the table.
共和党在中期选举中惨败后,愿意开启移民政策辩论,因为选民明确表示不支持政府的做法:福克斯新闻9月发布的一项民调显示,53%的选民认为特朗普的移民政策走得太远了。但参议院共和党人有一件事绝不会同意:大赦。
Republicans, after sweeping midterm losses, are willing to open up the immigration policy debate after voters made clear that the didn't support the administration’s approach: a Fox News poll published in September found that 53% of voters believed that Trump's immigration policy had gone too far.
“我信任特朗普总统,”印第安纳州共和党参议员吉姆·班克斯对福克斯新闻数字版表示。“他会做正确的事,但就我而言,大赦不在考虑范围内,我绝不会同意。”
But there’s one thing that Senate Republicans won’t agree to: amnesty.
当特朗普在周末播出的《60分钟》节目采访中表示,其政府的大规模驱逐和执法政策可能“太严厉”时,这扇门打开了一条缝。
"I trust President Trump," Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., told Fox News Digital. "He's gonna do what's right, but as far as I'm concerned, amnesty is off the table, I'll never go for it."
“把杀人犯赶出去,把强奸犯赶出去,把所有恶棍赶出去,把贩毒者赶出去,”特朗普说。“但让那些在这里的人——在某些情况下已经在这里待了10年、15年——为他们达成一项协议。”政府随后迅速澄清特朗普的言论,国土安全部长马尔韦恩·穆林不久后确认“不会有大赦”。
The door creaked open on the idea when Trump, during an interview with "60 Minutes" that aired over the weekend, said that his administration’s mass deportation and enforcement policies might be "too tough."
尽管如此,随着民主党明年准备掌权,共和党人仍愿意应对这一复杂问题。部分人几个月来一直在呼吁就此事采取行动。
"Get the killers out, get the rapists out, get all the rough ones out, get the drug dealers out," Trump said. "But let the people that are here — and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years — work a deal for them." The administration quickly sought to clarify Trump’s comments, with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin affirming that there would be "no amnesty," shortly after.
参议员汤姆·蒂利斯(共和党-北卡罗来纳州)是政府在移民政策上较为尖锐的共和党批评者之一,他将于年底退休。他对福克斯新闻数字版表示,早在3月他就给特朗普发了短信,建议现在是将“所有实际上已经封锁边境的做法”成文立法的“最佳时机”,并以此为契机推行“择优移民改革”。
Still, Republicans are willing to navigate the complex issue as Democrats gear up to take power next year. Some have been calling for action on the matter for months.
蒂利斯说:“我在短信里还说过,要想让这事成行,斯蒂芬·米勒要么得离场,要么得吃药。”“所以他们现在反悔,是因为他们不想干,因为他们有个错误假设,以为这会损害我们的基本盘。”
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., one of the administration’s sharper Republican critics on immigration policy who is retiring at the end of the year, told Fox News Digital that as early as March he texted Trump and suggested it would be the "perfect time" to codify "all the stuff that has effectively sealed the border and used it as an opportunity to get merit-based immigration reform."
他接着说:“我们的基本盘接受择优移民改革。特朗普总统也接受择优移民改革。如果我们不把那些实际上已经封锁边境的做法成文立法,要是民主党在2028年赢了大选把边境打开,责任就在他们身上。”
"I also said in that text, though, was, in order for this to be successful, Stephen Miller either needs to be out of the room or on his meds," Tillis said. "And so he's the reason they're walking it back is because they don't want to do it, because they have some false assumption that that's gonna hurt our base."
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(共和党-南达科他州)说:“在这个问题上积怨颇深,但总统因为管住了边境,在该问题上有公信力,也表达了意愿。我目前还没看到任何具体提案,但我们当然会听取意见,如果他想在这方面有所作为,我们会进行对话。”
"Our base is fine with merit-based immigration reform. President Trump is fine with merit-based immigration reform," he continued. "And if we don't get the stuff codified that has effectively sealed the border, it's gonna be on them when the border gets opened up if a Democrat wins in ‘28." The Senate, just before Trump won the 2024 election, was on the cusp of a bipartisan immigration deal when Democrats controlled the chamber. The deal collapsed after Trump criticized it and Senate Republicans withdrew support.
该两党协议是参议员詹姆斯·兰克福德(共和党-俄克拉荷马州)、克里斯·墨菲(民主党-康涅狄格州)和前参议员克尔斯滕·西内马谈判的产物,内容包括为边境安拨款数十亿美元、对大多数寻求庇护者关闭边境等多项政策变革。但保守派反对该协议,特朗普在竞选期间的影响力最终导致协议夭折。
"There's a lot of scar tissue on this issue, but, you know, the president, because he secured the borders, he has credibility on the issue, and he has expressed a willingness," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said. "I have not seen anything yet that's being proposed, but we will certainly hear them out, and if there's something he wants to do there, have a conversation about it." The bipartisan deal was the product of negotiations among Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla., Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, and would have funneled billions for border security and shuttered the border to most asylum seekers, among several other policy changes. But conservatives balked at the deal, and Trump’s influence from the campaign trail ultimately killed it.

多年后,兰克福德再次处于与民主党达成协议的关键位置,因为预计明年他将成为国土安全和政府事务委员会的共和党首席议员。
Years later, Lankford is again in a prime position to work on a deal with Democrats, given that he is expected to become the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee next year.
“如果我担任国土安全委员会首席议员,无论你喜不喜欢,我都将深陷其中,”兰克福德说。
"If I’m ranking on Homeland Security, I’m right in the thick of it, whether you like it or not," Lankford said.
尽管对于共和党未来的具体做法看法不一,但许多共和党人同意,政府的执法政策,特别是在前国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆任内的政策,不应重演。
Though opinions vary on what exactly the GOP’s approach would be going forward, many Republicans agree that the administration’s enforcement policies, particularly under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, should not make a comeback.
“我认为首先必须确保,你的执法方式不能像克里斯蒂·诺姆刚上任时那样,”北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员特德·巴德对福克斯新闻数字版表示。
"I think you have to make sure, first and foremost, that how you do your enforcement is not like the administration started under Kristi Noem," Sen. Ted Budd, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital.
“我认为人们支持一定的执法,但不是以残酷的方式。当时存在太多问题,缺乏培训,缺乏适当的方法,我认为人们希望认真对待执法工作。”
"I think people are for some enforcement, but not in a cruel way. And there were so many, there was a lack of training, lack of proper methodologies, and I think people want to take enforcement seriously."
“不过,我要重申,绝对不赦免,”他继续说道。“我们不想走那条路。罗纳德·里根是一位伟大的总统,他为数不多的遗憾中,有一个重大的遗憾就是大赦。我认为特朗普不想犯那个错误。”
"But, again, I would say no amnesty at all," he continued. "We don't want to go there. Ronald Reagan, a great president, one of his few regrets, but significant regrets, was amnesty. And I don't think Trump wants to make that mistake."
