But the sunny outlook belies the cavernous divisions between the Koch brothers and Trump on key issues that the president is expected to address in his State of the Union address this week: immigration and infrastructure.

While the Koch officials emphasized they have a direct line to the White House on immigration, they also cautioned that they won’t support severely curtailing future immigration levels, which, in a statement, one official called “arbitrary cuts.” They also said they don’t want a broader debate over immigration to derail efforts to renew the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — which is set to expire in March, though the end of the program is tied up in ligitation

The top priority is that there are real people right now whose legal certainty is at risk,” said Brian Hooks, president of the Charles Koch Foundation.

Hit them where it hurts. Threaten to stop the donations and this will be a done deal!

Bad news for Congress’s “twos group” on immigration. Cornyn says they are “spinning” their wheels, says they can only agree at meetings to hold more meetings. Says bipartisan group still working

“Good” is not a word that people use to describe a turning point.

Do you think this was not a significant step in the right direction?

I feel like any progress on our cause has hit a wall the last few days.
