President Trump is not likely to back a compromise on immigration reform, despite suggesting he's that open to such a proposal, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez said on Wednesday.

"I judge a person by their actions. And everything that Donald TrumpDonald TrumpTrump Jr. likely paid K for event hosted by Russian allies: report MSNBC president: Ratings on rise because we give smartest coverage out there Whats next for Latinos priorities under a Trump administration? MORE has said about immigration has been immigrant-baiting," Perez said on CNN's "New Day." We've seen it from the campaign, we've seen it through the election, we talk about the wall again last night."

"What he doesn't talk about are the people he's deporting," he added. "He claims to only be deporting immigrants who have been convicted of a serious crime. That's simply not accurate."

But the president did not talk about such a proposal during his speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. Instead, he discussed his administration's efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants who commit crimes.

As we speak, we are removing gang members, drug dealers and criminals that threaten our communities and prey on our citizens, he said. Bad ones are going out as I speak tonight.
