Deal or no deal on DACA? Republicans say no. Democrats say not yet.
 

"Trump has not met in person with Schumer or Pelosi since their September dinner, but the president did speak with Schumer by phone last Thursday about the future of DACA and other matters, according to aides familiar with the call. Pelosi and Schumer have spoken several times by phone with Kelly about the matter, the aides said, declining to share details of the calls."

The target of his questions, DHS Assistant Secretary Michael Dougherty, gave a general outline of what Trump would like to see, including a resolution for DACA recipients, border security, stronger deportation authority, enhanced vetting of immigrants, overhauling some visas and transforming the immigration system to favor high-skilled immigrants.

I hope the administration doesn't use your list ... Your list was the entirety of the comprehensive immigration reform."

He said it was "too much" to "put the burden" on a DACA bill to answer all of the questions.
"It's too much to ask ... and I hope you'll take that message back," Durbin said.

He also said DHS did not support the notion of creating a permanent visa status that would never allow people to be naturalized -- saying the White House would be of the same mind.
"I think creating second-class citizens or people who are never able to naturalize is not a good model," Dougherty said, adding "I do" when asked if he thinks the President agrees.
