Hopes for immigration deal fade as lawmakers trade barbs and Trump declares DACA probably dead

Prospects for a bipartisan agreement to protect young immigrants from deportation and prevent a government shutdown later this week faded Sunday as key lawmakers traded sharp accusations and President Trump said hopes for a deal were "probably dead."

Negotiators spent last week seeking a solution that would shield young immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children, including the roughly 800,000 who secured work permits under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program created under President Barack Obama.

But a tentative deal worked out Thursday by a small bipartisan group of senators crumbled in an Oval Office meeting in which, according to multiple people involved, an angry Trump asked them why the United States should accept immigrants from "shithole countries" such as Haiti, El Salvador and African nations over those from European countries such as Norway.

Trump offered a vague denial Friday, and on Sunday, he declared the talks to be failing.

"DACA is probably dead because the Democrats don't really want it, they just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our Military," he said on Twitter.

Sorry Shitholeo you're the one who killed it.

He is so desperate and pathetic. None of these talks even have anything to do with military funding

spin the narrative to,it's the Dems fault. Watch for Murdoch Media to pickup the chant. It is after all,tow the Party Line or else. Sure looks like they want a Shut Down rather than what the Public Wants.

we who voted for the most qualified candidate who won by a 3 million margin,are left to suffer under their mandate.

If we do see a Shut-Down,we will see the start of a major Recession within minutes.

He only thinks of his moronic base when he speaks because he knows they will believe anything he says without looking into its verity. The rest of us aren't so stupid. He is an absolute disaster and it keeps getting worse every day.
