The president met with lawmakers from both parties at the White House as negotiations over a must-pass spending bill have hit a snag over immigration.
Democrats are demanding that DACA recipients be addressed as part of the funding deal and are frustrated with Republicans who have balked at tying the two issues together.

We've had dishonest Presidents before, but nothing like this.

(11,252 posts)I was just aggravated by the fact that the current crisis, whereby people are about to lose their deferred status, is entirely a crisis of Trump's making. And he can pretend all he wants that he made the decision because he wanted to up the pressure on Congress to come up with a permanent policy, but that's just garbage. He made the decision to appeal to his racist base. But yes, you're 100% right that the ultimate solicition needs to be permanent.
