The outline of an immigration deal is starting to take shape in Washington after months of negotiations. Yet even as lawmakers draw close to a resolution, filling in the blanks could prove insurmountable.

Key Republican senators left a White House meeting Thursday optimistic about reaching a deal to make permanent the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — which protected young undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children from deportation — along with some border security and immigration reforms.


But the meeting was boycotted by one Republican who is actively negotiating with Democrats, Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, for not being bipartisan, and even the GOP lawmakers in the room did not all agree on how to hammer out remaining sticking points.

President Donald Trump called for a bipartisan meeting next week to follow, lawmakers said afterward, and Vice President Mike Pence personally called to invite Flake, who accepted.

Democrats, meanwhile, are keeping their options open — doubling down on bipartisan negotiations and declining opportunities to draw red lines around some of the proposals.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was at the White House meeting, and Flake — who have been negotiating intensely with Democratic Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois and Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Cory Gardner, a Republican — both said Thursday that the “chain migration,” or family-based migration, piece would be limited.

“We’re not going to fix it all,” Graham told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday. “But the first round, there will be a down payment on breaking chain migration.”

Flake told reporters that the negotiations were settling on limiting the issue of “chain migration” to the DACA-eligible immigrants protected in the eventual deal.

But Lankford flatly rejected that approach.

"DACA-eligible" = Older and younger dreamers who were exluded from DACA are going to get screwed again

Don't get caught up in semantics until we know what's written down in the bill. All speculation right now.

Nah dude. It could mean all DACA eligible people. If they had said recipients then we'd know for sure


Ok, they do say protected, but it's all semantics at this point

I don't think it means DACA people only. I think it means that the "DACA" deal (the word is being used loosely) will prevent chain migration for people who benefit from it which makes sense if you ask me.

It all really depends on how everything is worded.

They can word to include only DACA beneficiaries.
They can word it to include anyone otherwise eligible for DACA (born after June 16, 1981, in US since June 15 2007, etc, etc).
They can word it to include any childhood arrival prior to a given date.

I think C is would fair. Keep the original entry date (have to draw a line somewhere) but then allow everyone younger or older to qualify. As long as you were below a certain age and entered before a certain date, you qualify.

The way I interpret it, family sponsorship would be prohibited for any Dreamer that gets legalized.

"chain migration" for the rest would resume.
