Trump would 'love' to do a DACA deal, wants it to include border wall funds.

President Trump said Wednesday he would "love" to make an immigration deal to protect so-called Dreamers, but wants border security concessions in exchange, including money to build his long-promised wall along the border with Mexico.

“I’d love to do a DACA deal, but we have to get something very substantial for it, including the wall” and tougher border security, Trump told reporters as he left the White House to fly to Dallas for a GOP fundraiser and a briefing on Gulf Coast hurricane relief efforts.

Trump announced in September he was terminating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program established by President Obama that has protected from deportation more than 800,000 people brought to the country illegally as children.

At the time, Trump gave Congress six months to act before work permits and deportation deferrals issued under the program begin to expire on March 6.

But lawmakers have struggled to agree on how to move forward with a bill to protect the DACA recipients. They're currently negotiating with an eye toward including a compromise on the issue as part of a must-pass spending bill due for a vote in early December.

The top Democrats in the House and Senate, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), said Trump made a deal with them during an Oval Office meeting in early September that he would sign a DACA bill that didn't include funding for the wall.

Earlier this month, however, the White House issued a 17-page list of principles for any deal that included building the wall, increasing the number of deportation officers, and provisions that would limit the ability of new U.S. citizens to sponsor relatives for legal status.

too bad for him, all bets are on the omnibus now. he can get his wall another way!

WARNING: A DACA amnesty as part of the spending bill could be for the entire DACA eligible population (1.9M) not DACA recipients (800K).

they are shook.

Of course he wants his wall money, but if it isn't included, I doubt he would veto such a bill, he will just change his mind once again and say that we need to protect these kids from deportation and we will focus on the wall in the coming year.

Fucking twitter is a shit hole.

I'd ask Breitbart if they all should be condemned cause of the Vegas shooting? So all white people are murderers? Fucking stupid ass fascist neo nazis.

One person out of 800K commited a murder guys, I guess we're screwed. We're all going to jail now. Ridiculous.

Beyond.

Agree with this

He’s not gettingn his wall

Trump should just stick to his word and make Mexico pay for it. He should use his wall idea during the NAFTA negotiations not the DACA negotiations.

This is a political puppet theatre. Their going to pass it in December and blame the democrats. Kills two birds with one stone. Passes protections and fires up the base.
