Trump sketches out DACA deal with Republicans at White House dinner
 
I know a version has been posted, but this version clarified things a bit more . In the other version, only Cottons view was shared .

Quote:
Trump, attendees said, remains focused on finding a solution while also emphasizing border security. But it was unclear whether Trump's border wall would have to be a part of any DACA deal

Cornyn told reporters he got the sense that Trump is ultimately focused on reaching a deal and that he wasn't "fixed on any particular point of view."

Topics that came up included border security and the RAISE Act, which is Cotton and Perdue's bill to transform employment-based green cards into a merit system that heavily favors high-skilled, highly educated and English-speaking immigrants, according to Cornyn.

"I think those were all, sort of, in play," Cornyn told reporters on the Hill.

A White House official described the dinner in broad strokes, saying the conversations would continue.

"The dinner focused on shared priorities for immigration legislation, including legal authorities to close border security loopholes, restoring interior enforcement, and reforming the legal immigration system," the official said on condition of anonymity. "In addition, they discussed other agenda items for the fall such as tax reform and disaster relief. The President looks forward to continuing these conversations with bipartisan members of Congress."

Reacting to the Republicans' dinner on Tuesday, Schumer said Trump should be clear and public if he's changing his mind on any immigration plan.

"We were explicit that the President would support the Durbin-Graham proposal, the Dream Act," Schumer said on Capitol Hill. "If they're backing off on that we ought to know. That was not said. ... If they're backing off of it because of pressure from the far right, America ought to know and we ought to know."

baffles my mind how some conservatives have no shame in being against the RAISE act.

uhhhh. why is it bad to be against the raise act? it literally decreases the population of immigrants in favor of wealthy whites with skills. it also removes the ability of sponsoring families

He has no core ideology and changes his mind based on who he talked to last. Schumer, Pelosi and GOP Leaders need to request another meeting ASAP

also the RAISE act decreases overall legal immigration by a considerable amount. if you take into the fact that immigrants are necessary to the economy growing as immigrants do jobs that americans will not, the RAISE act negatively affects the US economy. from my general understanding, most people against the RAISE act recognize the economic consequences and partly choose their position because of it.

Nothing was accomplished last month. That being said, the hearing went really well. Elf Sessions is going to be present on the next one which is to be held on the 19th I believe.
