Paul Ryan says "there is no agreement" on immigration after President Donald Trump meets with Democrats.
Democrats said they struck the framework for a deal to protect young immigrants from deportation along with border security measures.
Other top Republicans like Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn also appeared to pump the brakes on a possible deal.
House Speaker Paul Ryan and top Republicans pumped the brakes Thursday on talk of an immigration deal between President Donald Trump and Democrats.
"These were discussions, not negotiations," Ryan told reporters about a bipartisan dinner Wednesday night. "There isn't an agreement."
After the meal with Trump and top aides, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced that they reached the framework for an agreement to protect about 800,000 young immigrants from deportation. The Democrats said they discussed passing protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program into law with other border security measures.
A deal, the Democrats said, would not include Trump's proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Thursday, Trump denied that he reached a final deal with the lawmakers. He insisted on eventually building the wall, though not as part of a bill to shield the so-called dreamers.
"I think we're fairly close, but we have to get massive security ... Mitch [McConnell] is on board, Paul Ryan's on board," Trump said before he left for hurricane-ravaged Florida.
Schumer and Pelosi followed up Thursday by saying, "What remains to be negotiated are the details of border security, with a mutual goal of finalizing all details as soon as possible."
Ryan on Thursday said he supports passing DACA protections attached to other border security measures. But he and other Republican leaders indicated that a deal could be further away than the Democrats hope.
"There is no agreement. The president and the chief of staff called me from Air Force One today to discuss what was discussed. And it was a discussion, not an agreement or a negotiation," said Ryan, who did not attend the dinner.
"You cannot fix DACA without fixing the root cause of the problem," the Wisconsin Republican added. "We do not have control of our borders. So, we need border security and enforcement as part of any agreement. I think that's something the Democrats are beginning to understand."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday appeared to believe an agreement is not imminent.
"As Congress debates the best ways to address illegal immigration through strong border security and interior enforcement, DACA should be part of those discussions. We look forward to receiving the Trump administration's legislative proposal as we continue our work on these issues," he said.
McConnell's No. 2 in the Senate, Majority Whip John Cornyn, on Thursday said, "it looks like a deal to make a deal." The other members of Congress "will have some ideas about what that will look like and what will actually pass," he added.
Still, some of Trump's most loyal supporters in the right-wing media decried Trump's efforts to strike a deal with Democrats. The website Breitbart News, which staunchly supported Trump as a candidate, labeled him "Amnesty Don" and said he caved on DACA.
Media personality Ann Coulter responded to a Trump tweet voicing support for so-called dreamers by asking, "who DOESN'T want Trump impeached

Oh man

Ugh. One step forward two steps back? Will try to keep my hopes at bay...

A deal to make a deal. Progress.

Kinda like 'inception of deals' ('DealCeption')???

Nothing here we didn't know, is there?

I think the “deal” yesterday was the part they will not include the wall, and say, let’s agree we will compromise. Each party will get something. Which i definitely think is progress. Not the fast speed progress, but good progress non the less

Of course he has to say that! We all really know what is going on behind the scenes. However, PRyan is technically telling the truth, its all word of mouth and none of it is an actual "deal".

But the fact that Trump, Chuck, and Pelosi are in agreement means we are almost there!

Hurry up and iron out the details.

My advice is that they negotiate something behind closed doors and pass it swiftly. No need for all the unnecessary PR. Dem should focus on actually passing something and signing into law and not creating negative PR for reps. Only limit chance of success....

A deal hasn't been reached. We knew this already.
