Trump to meet GOP senators on DACA fix



Lawmakers say they will go to the White House on Thursday to discuss progress on helping so-called Dreamers.

President Donald Trump has invited several Senate Republicans to the White House on Thursday to hash out details of a potential legislative measure on so-called Dreamers, according to multiple senators who plan to attend.


The invitation list for the meeting, confirmed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and others familiar with it, is still fluctuating, but at least a half-dozen senators who have privately been trying to hammer out an immigration plan are expected to attend.

Trump wants to gauge the progress on Capitol Hill thus far of any legislative fix to the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, people familiar with the meeting said. The president announced last month that he would wind down the program starting next March. Senate Republicans also want to pitch various security and enforcement proposals that would be paired with legislation that gives a pathway to legal status for DACA recipients and other young undocumented immigrants who came here as minors.



“The purpose of the meeting is for us to hear from the president his views of some of the thoughts that we have,” Grassley said in an interview Tuesday. “I can’t say there’s much progress being made, because we’ve got to sit down with the Democrats. There’s no way a partisan bill is going to pass.”


Senate Republicans have been working quietly to piece together a DACA deal that would not only pick up conservative support but also Democrats, who are urging lawmakers to address the Dreamer issue by the end of the year.

GRRRRR!!

There’s no way a partisan bill is going to pass.”

Well, let me tell you some of the thoughts that we have. You morons do anything and I mean anything to "fix" any illegal alien in this country and we'll "fix" you next election. All of you, the President included, need to shut the fvck up about DACA, end that stupidity once and for all, tell the President to deport these people with your blessings, and never let us hear the words DACA, Dreamer or Amnesty from your crooked mouths ever again.

Help me understand. If no bill is passed, doesn't DACA go away? Isn't that the desired end? To hell with dealing with the Democrats on something the GOP supposedly doesn't want.

CORRECT! All they need to do is NOTHING, just tell them to shut the fvck up!!!

The only "fix" is let work permits expire and OUT they go with their whole family.

This is nothing but BLANKET amnesty and MORE chain migration!

End birthright citizenship now!

No deal on DACA! Do your jobs! Fully enforce our existing immigration laws! You swore oaths to do so!
