On Capitol Hill, most players are taking a wait-and-see approach.

House Speaker Paul Ryan's office was noncommittal. "The House immigration working group will review these principles and continue to consult with our conference and the administration to find a solution," spokesman Doug Andres said.

Other sources pointed to the timing of the release -- the Sunday night before a federal holiday -- as a possible indication the White House is not as serious about the list.

"Like they're trying to bury it," one congressional aide said. Administration sources, for their part, said the list had been in the works for some time and was simply ready to be released.

A Republican consultant familiar with the discussions on the Hill about DACA downplayed the release altogether as "noise" -- saying not much matters until the date draws nearer to December 8, when government funding runs out and any potential shutdown talk could get serious if progress hasn't been made.

Hill work continues

Sources familiar with negotiations in Congress say they have been progressing slowly.

According to multiple sources familiar, the working group organized by Ryan, which includes key Republicans on different sides of the ideological spectrum, has met at least four times. The bare bones of a deal have yet to take shape, the sources said.

Further details remain on close hold. Members and their staffs have agreed to maintain silence on the substance of the discussions to avoid negotiations leaking to the press.

On the Senate side, sources familiar say conversations are happening, mostly among staff, but the process is less formal than on the House side.

Democrats maintain substantial leverage in the negotiations. Not only would any immigration deal require Democratic votes to pass -- both to clear the 60-vote filibuster threshold in the Senate and to make up for Republican holdouts who would never support a DACA fix -- but Democrats are already signaling they could withhold support for must-pass bills like government funding if progress isn't made.

The White House said Tuesday that the two "discussed [their] legislative priorities including immigration, tax reform, government funding and health care.

"We have a very aggressive fall agenda, and will continue meeting and working with members of congress to get things accomplished."

Trump and Graham traveled to the golf course together earlier Monday.

Graham is now co-sponsoring the DREAM Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for many recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Their golf outing came just hours after the White House unveiled its own hard-line proposals to be included in DACA legislation, including funding for a wall on the Mexico border.

Let’s wait if we get more details on what was actually discussed concerning daca.

Trump tweeted this morning:

@realDonaldTrump
The problem with agreeing to a policy on immigration is that the Democrats don't want secure borders,they don't care about safety for U.S.A.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., issued a joint statement criticizing the plan on Sunday night. "This proposal fails to represent any attempt at compromise," they said, noting that they were open to "reasonable border security measures."

But several Republicans who spoke to NBC News expressed confidence that Trump and Democrats could find common ground.

"If ever there was room for a deal, it's on DACA," said former Virginia Rep. Tom Davis, who called it a "no brainer" for Democrats to offer some money for the wall to protect Dreamers. "You’ll see a deal at the end of the day. But they’ve got to go through the dance first."
