Ingraham on Immigration: Trump Must Fulfill Campaign Promise

President Donald Trump must fulfill his campaign promise to take firm against illegal immigration, and ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is part of that, according to Laura Ingraham Tuesday on Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

"His instincts politically when he ran for president were frankly brilliant. He beat the Bushes, the Obamas, big business, the media. He beat them all, not by moving to the middle on all the issues," Ingraham said.

She said that a move to end the program would not likely result in a wide-ranging deportation, but Trump supporters were calling for him to ease up on his tone against immigration

Ingraham rejected that idea in a statement to the president during her appearance.

"You won by standing for the forgotten man ... those people need jobs," Ingraham added.

Trump commented on the DACA issue Tuesday, issuing a message to Congress in a tweet, saying:
