President Trump on Thursday denied that a deal was reached with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi over DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The two Democratic leaders announced after a dinner meeting with Trump on Wednesday that a deal had been reached.
“We had a very productive meeting at the White House with the President,” they wrote in a joint statement. “The discussion focused on DACA. We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides.”
The president took to Twitter early Thursday to explain that wasn’t true.
“No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote,” he wrote.

“The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built,” he added.

He then followed up suggesting he did not want to see Dreamers kicked out of the country.
“Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really! They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security,” he wrote.

There are approximately 800,000 illegal immigrant minors who are currently being protected under the DACA program.
You called, and the Kitties delivered.
I didn’t vote in the primaries, because I’m not registered as a Republican. Is that a zottable offense now?
So long as he pulls out of this leftward spiral and gets back to his agenda, I’m voting for him again with bells on.
As soon as the Daily Caller put out the article on Trump accepting the Dem proposal for DACA, Trump’s communications people should have been all over the lie. Instead they let it go on for two days.
What about Cahn going to a global warming meeting at the UN?
Is this true? I wish Trump’s communication people would reassure us that the Climate Change agreement is not coming back to life via Cahn meeting.
1. Now we have Nancy, Chuck U, and Trump’s press corps all saying they have no deal, and what was discussed DID NOT INCLUDE THE WALL.
2. Trump has reiterated today he is moving forward on the Wall.
3. I’ve stated repeatedly that I (agreeing with Rush here) don’t think Trump wants to deport/arrest people who will be seen as “kids.” I know what many here think, but I’m dealing with reality. No politician wants to be in charge of thousands of Elian Gonzolez type photos. That doesn’t mean they won’t go. I’ve tried to explain this too: the marijuana legislation in part is is designed to make sure that any “Dreamer” that has a drug conviction goes. So, upshot is (this is me):
I THINK TRUMP WANTS TO LET THEM STAY, but as he has said over and over, “it must be done leee-galll-y.” In other words, you need a bill.
4. That means Congress. Several have told me they don’t think it could pass the Senate, but I don’t think a DACA bill can pass the House without major, major concessions (RAISE, the Wall). But Trump just took the Wall out. Bad, right? No, in my view better.
I think a majority of Rs WANT to pass a DACA bill, but are terrified of their voters. They WANT THAT COVER of Wall funding or Raise to allow them to say, “Well, we fought & got the best deal we could.”
Trump has now taken that away. So he has positioned them as having to do ALL the heavy lifting, take the highest risks, and pay the biggest price. If they water it down sufficiently, they might survive politically, but I doubt it. And I think they know it, which is why I predict the House defeats it narrowly.
If he acts like this in first year, he’ll be unbelievably horrible when he is a lame duck...
Well, that didn’t take long for Greensea to ride the lightning...
LOL!
Idiot...../S
LOL!
Yeah, I Make-EE Sad Face-EE....
I don’t have to get some BBQ sauce and dine on his corpse...
If they are law abiding, they shouldn't be thrown out of the nation.
When has that happened?
You guys have lost your minds.
DACA has to be handled with some common sense.
I hope he is not surprised that he broke bread with liars.
So far he is doing a great job DESPITE a hostile Congress and his own Political Party.
Check this out:
It is Executive Branch lawlessness. It should have ended immediately on January 20. There is no reason for it to have continued till now. There is no reason for it to continue an additional six months from now. NONE.
This news is 4 weeks old.
I know and that is why this DACA story is mostly BS. The RFPs have already been posted.
I concur on old points made.
