Trump, GOP senators: No DACA deal in spending bill

President Trump and GOP senators agreed during a closed-door White House meeting that they would not include a fix for a key Obama-era program as part of an end-of-the-year spending bill.

"There was also a consensus that anyone on the other side of the aisle who thinks that they're just going to codify DACA in the year-end appropriations bill, it may not be very well received," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) added that senators and Trump agreed that an immigration deal would not be included in "omnibus or any other ... must-pass piece of legislation in 2017."

Several Republican senators, including Cotton and Tillis, met with Trump at the White House to discuss immigration and their ongoing negotiations on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The decision, if Republicans stick to the deal, would set up an end of the year showdown with Democrats.

Democrats are warning they will demand a DACA fix either before or as part of the December government funding bill.

in my opinion both sides are playing Hard Ball in the negotiations.

In September, Trump backtracked from the "deal" with Pelosi-Schumer because it made him look weak.

then Democrats threatened shutdown without DACA fix, now Republicans are just countering it with this agreement between their caucus.

Well, fudge

Here we go again.

Okay so when are our so called GOP defenders going to pass the daca solution then?
P

So what's the GOP's plan then? Ignore the issue until it's too late?

probably come up with a half-assed DACA relief plan 24 hours before March 6th. (like ACA repeal)

I don't think this is just hardballing for negotionations, the time for that has passed. If we were expecting a fix by December, I think this pretty much kills our chances. Democrats probably know this, that's why they aren't committing to a government shutdown.

Til next year guys...

Fuck all this bull shit.

All I want is peace of mind. Why is it so difficult?

President Trump: "We just had a big meeting on DACA with some of the Senators (GOP) and we have great things to say about that... You'll be hearing about that very soon."
