The Trump administration has used the COVID-19 crisis to rewrite immigration law without passing a bill through Congress. Washington: US President Donald Trump said that his administration is working on what he called "a big immigration bill". Speaking to reporters on Friday at the White House before a trip to Florida, Trump said the bill will be "merit-based", reports Xinhua news agency.In addition, he said the administration is working with representatives of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that grants undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children permission to live and work lawfully.Trump made the remarks only days after his administration announced it is reviewing DACA, and that it will reject new applications.DACA, created via an administrative memo in 2012 by the previous Barack Obama administration, previously gave recipients a renewable two-year deferral from deportation and has made them eligible for work permits, driver's licenses, and health insurance.Recipients of DACA, estimated to be about 700,000, are commonly called "Dreamers".Trump, who has made the abolishment of the program a key part of his hardline immigration policy, first announced intentions to rescind DACA in September 2017.During the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has ramped up moves to restrict immigration.Critics have argued he's using the pandemic to promote his political agenda and appeal to his voters as the November election nears.

Trump’s comments came in a Friday tweet after Fox News host Tucker Carlson had posted: “Lawmakers are trying to make life worse for people across America. The new ad also shows footage of Biden vowing “citizenship for 11 million undocumented folks.”“That means 11 million illegal immigrants competing for American jobs, eligible for free health care, Social Security and Medicare. Reporter Jose Diaz Balart asked if he meant an executive order, which Trump said, “yes,” as there is no bill that has been passed by the House and Senate on immigration. Trump has already used the crisis to take dramatic steps to limit immigration. If you elect me, your taxes are gonna be raised, not cut."
