Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (Texas) on Thursday quickly threw cold water on efforts by Democrats to persuade President Trump to support a stand-alone bill to protect an estimated 800,000 undocumented immigrants from deportation.
Shortly after Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke with Trump Thursday morning about moving the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would lift the threat of deportation from people who came to the country illegally as children, commonly known as "Dreamers," Cornyn said the legislation would not come to the floor in its current form.
“The minority leader doesn’t set the Senate schedule and the DREAM Act — we’re not going to vote on the DREAM Act as a stand-alone,” Cornyn told reporters.

Can you imagine that when President Obama couldn’t pass the DREAM Act through Congress and did this through executive action, that now a Republican majority would take it up and pass that same legislation without border security and enforcement provisions?” Cornyn said.
