White House chief of staff John KellyJohn Francis KellyMORE claims in a new interview that a vast majority of undocumented immigrants to the U.S.
Kelly is on board with the administration's new "zero tolerance" policy on illegal immigration, which will prosecute any undocumented immigrant and separate some children from their parents upon crossing the border. Only 13 percent of immigrants at that time didn't speak English at all, the census showed, which is far from the majority group Kelly referred to in the interview.
When asked if he would consider special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign a "witch hunt", as Trump so faithfully reiterates, he said he believes there is "nothing there". In fact, he wishes he'd arrived earlier, he told NPR on Friday.
Kelly thinks certain people who are in the US under temporary protected status, who have been in the USA for a "considerable" amount of time, should be put on a path to citizenship and allowed to stay, he said in the NPR interview. He said most people coming into the country illegally "are not bad people", but said they won't assimilate easily.

US safety agency reviewing fatal Tesla crash in Florida
The agency is also investigating another Tesla-related fire after a Model X SUV crashed on a freeway in California in March . Tesla said a failure to fix a highway safety barrier contributed to the accident.
Before he took on the role of chief of staff, Kelly was the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. They're overwhelmingly rural people.
"They don't integrate well; they don't have skills".
However, he floated the idea of finding a path to citizenship for the more than 425,000 immigrants, many of whom have lived in the U.S. legally for decades under TPS. "He always listens", Kelly said.
