Political groups backed by conservative mega-donors Charles and David Koch on Monday criticized President Trump's recent comment that "DACA is dead," saying the president needs to compromise on a deal that helps immigrants brought into the country illegally as children.

The three groups - Freedom Partners, Americans for Prosperity and The LIBRE Initiative - put out statements on Monday urging Trump to reach a permanent deal that trades funding for his border wall for a "permanent solution" for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients.

Freedom Partners Executive Vice President James Davis issued the following statement:

Quote:
"The importance of reaching an agreement on a permanent solution for Dreamers cannot be overstated. Pointing fingers, shifting blame and, ultimately, abandoning efforts to reach a consensus would be irresponsible and represent a grave injustice to those who know no other home than the United States. A deal is within reach – permanency for Dreamers and $25 billion to enhance border security – it is time to seize it.

“Reaching a permanent solution will remain a top priority, and we will continue to be aggressively engaged on this issue until President Trump and congressional leaders put aside the political theatrics and do what is best for Dreamers and for our country. It’s never too late to do the right thing.”

DACA has 80% approval, even with Trump supporters.

This builds public goodwill and political capital for them.

The DACA/Wall deal boat has sailed. Dems would not vote for it anymore.

Always follow the money. We are 800k thousand current and future costumers of the companies they own.

Absolutely.

The courts already gave DACA recipients till 2020 at least.

No need to vote for anything that would fund the dumb wall
