Freedom Caucus offer

NEW: A HFC member offered (yesterda) as a compromise a NEW visa program for DACA recipients that leads to a path to citizenship. Member says it's a "bridge" to the legal immigration system per sources.

I'm told moderates are willing to accept if it's a real offer.

.@RepMarkMeadows just said there is “no deal.”

He chuckled when asked about this tweet.

He will not confirm or deny that there is an offer out to moderates.

Meadows says he is not negotiating policy with the press.

There is a ridiculous debate happening right now about whether or not conservatives offered moderates a special deal and whether that deal is a “bridge” or “path” for DACA recipients.

Nice.

I think many DREAMERs would be screwed because of dumb inadmissibity sections in 212

Did you read the bill?

So is there a deal or not?

Much larger number than the currently enrolled in daca.
YAASSSS

Guess not? As expected of the HFC.

Moderate leader Jeff Denham says Republicans have pulled off the improbable and reached a tentative immigration deal. Per Deham it includes:

- 8-year citizenship path for DREAMers

- This will apply to "a much larger number" than the 700,000 formally enrolled in the program...

- DREAMers can enroll in the military to get citizenship faster than 8 years.

- These Visa spots will not be new. Will come from "combining" other Visa programs (sounds like they'll take them from the diversity Visa program but this is not confirmed)...

The bizarre catch here is that Denham says this deal was offered by the Freedom Caucus and accepted by moderates. Freedom Caucus chair Mark Meadows told us there was no offer or deal. Soooooo...

So who is lying and who is telling the truth?
