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."
