Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said in an interview Sunday that President Trump called him to let him know he did not make a deal with Democratic leadership on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

"You know, I think the president has said publicly that there's not a deal," Cotton told NBC's "Meet the Press," referencing Trump's discussion with Democratic leadership about the DACA program and border security.

Some reports indicated Trump agreed to hold back on attaching funding for his proposed border wall in order to push through DACA legislation with Democratic support.

"He wants to see a deal," Cotton added. "In fact, he called me a couple nights ago to say there's no deal. He wants to make sure that we protect the interest of American workers. In particular, by ending unlimited chain migration which is why we have so many unskilled workers coming into the country."
Cotton emphasized that a deal has yet to be reached on DACA, an Obama-era program that protected young immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children from deportation. The Trump administration announced earlier this month that it would phase out the program, giving Congress six months to act.

"We want to put American interests or American workers' interests first. And we'll do that. But there's no deal right now. And I'm happy to work for the president and Democrats in Congress try to reach a deal that helps American workers," Cotton said.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), after meeting with Trump last week, said they agreed to work toward a deal in Congress to protect DACA and on a border security package.

The White House also has emphasized that a deal on DACA has yet to be reached.

Trump tells whoever he's talking to whatever they want to hear regardless of what it is. He changes positions depending on who he's talking to.

Time for a good old fashioned government shutdown.

There is no deal, but rather, plans and intentions to make a deal. We get it.

Our only hope is a shutdown. I think republicans would lowkey "force their hand" to pass DA.

"We had no choice" secretly they want DA and to take this issue away to go back to giving money to the rich

Cotton is just another moron who feels like a rising star. He will soon be gone. Has no idea how his retarded bill would affect the economy nor how it would affect farmers in his state.

Just talk like always, hopefully soon he will be the next Marco Rubio.

Look at that racist bullshit. He's trying to say that unskilled immigrant workers are taking unskilled 'American' workers' jobs when all know it's automation/robotics that's taking the jobs....

In fact, according to the Economist:

Immigrants to America are better educated than ever before. Far from being low-skilled, half of all legal migrants have college degrees
