The White House and congressional Democrats traded immigration offers futilely over the weekend, according to three sources familiar with the talks, leaving little chance of an immediate deal to protect Dreamers.


The White House on Sunday made an 11th-hour push to include billions of dollars in border wall funding in a massive congressional spending bill due this week, but clashed with congressional Democrats over how far to go in protecting young immigrants that face deportation, the sources said.


White House officials asked Democrats to approve $25 billion for President Donald Trump’s border wall in exchange for extending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program through fall of 2020, those sources said. That would give Trump his full wall funding request in the must-pass spending bill and still give him leverage over the DACA program heading into his 2020 reelection campaign.


But Democrats balked, demanding instead that the White House provide a pathway to citizenship to 1.8 million young immigrants eligible under the DACA program, those sources said. The White House might have been open to negotiating further, but Democrats were only willing to entertain the massive wall funding figure in exchange for helping the same number of immigrants that Trump embraced in a proposal earlier this year.
Quote:
The impasse shows how far apart each side is ahead of a Friday deadline to fund the government: This could be Trump’s best chance to get wall money, particularly if Democrats win back the House this fall. So the White House is willing to drop its insistence that any immigration deal include major cuts to legal immigration. In the administration‘s view, Democrats are being unreasonable in the face of Trump’s flexibility.
Quote:
There is little incentive for Democrats to give in to Trump’s full border funding request without permanent protections for Dreamers. Their counteroffer was similar to a bipartisan bill that Republicans rejected last month under heavy pressure from Trump and White House officials.

Offer permanent protection for DREAMers and Trump could get his wall.

only way this had a change of going through is GC status for the 800k daca'ers.
they want him to remember his offer of coverage for 1.8 mil but forgot that he's gonna ask a lot more than just wall funding for that many people.

Based on the political atmosphere and how seats are getting lost to dems. Trump might cave and take the wall + dreamer path to citizenship. Trump knows hes fucked if he doesnt say yes, his wall will never get approved after this week.

Yes. If Trump wants his wall built, it's this week or never. I'm skeptical to see Dems are willing to trade the $25b for Citizenship, I would think they weren't interested in even doing that.

Lolol. People would be really stupid to accept full wall funding for two more years of DACA. Why would the WH even entertain the idea that anyone would agree to that? gtfo
