White House, Dems restart negotiations over DACA, funding border wall
(Worthy News) – The White House and congressional Democrats traded proposals over the weekend about how to fix an Obama-era program protecting hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children from deportation, Fox News has learned.
A source familiar with the talks said discussions broke down after Democrats rejected a bid by the Trump administration to extend protections for those enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program until the fall of 2020. In exchange, the White House would receive $25 billion in funding for President Trump’s long-sought wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Democrats countered with an offer to provide funding for the wall in exchange for a pathway to citizenship for all 1.8 million DACA-eligible immigrants — as opposed to the estimated 800,000 who are enrolled in the program. At that point, the source told Fox News the talks broke down. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
