More than 30 senators join push for immigration deal

More than 30 senators — about a third of the entire Senate — met late Wednesday afternoon to discuss the outlines of an immigration deal before a March 5 deadline for hundreds of thousands of immigrants facing deportation.

The senators huddled shortly before President Trump announced he would be willing to create a 10- to 12-year-long path to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients in exchange for $25 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The White House announced it would unveil a more detailed framework for immigration reform on Monday.

I really like how Susan Collins has come out of nowhere to be involved in the immigration talks! They brokered the agreement in her office to end the shutdown. Lisa Murkowski is also in the mix!

Go ladies!

One GOP aide called the meeting “inconsequential.”

And even lawmakers at the center of the immigration talks are beginning to talk about a two- or three-year “patch” or “extension” to keep DACA program recipients protected from deportation but without a long-term solution or path to citizenship.

Umm hopefully, Trump’s support of a pathway kills this idea of a temporary patch.

schumer did a great job at pushing the republicans

I think Monday we'll get Trump's shitlatte.

I wonder if they’ll accept new applicants. Any thoughts fellow dreamers?

That bill won't even pass the house, let alone the Senate.

I meant like his version of it.

It's time for #TrumpDreamers to become a reality!

Senate isn't the biggest issue... we can gain the support. But House is where the real fight is.
