White House director of legislative affairs Marc Short on Monday argued there has been “significant progress” between lawmakers in the immigration debate, as the government shutdown stretches into its third day.

“I feel like there’s been significant progress,” Short told CNN’s “New Day.”

“I think Democrats have moved significantly toward our position of the physical barriers that we’re asking for that actually the frontline officers at CBP have asked for,” he added, referring to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The comments from Short come as lawmakers struggle to reach a deal to re-open the government.
Front and center to the negotiations is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shielded immigrants brought to the U.S. unlawfully as children from deportation. Democrats are pushing for a legislative fix to the program, which Trump said last year he would wind down.
