B Offer: Immigration Agenda and Dreamers Hostage

b offer: U.S. Democrats withdraw 25B offer to fund Trump's border wall What's up with Trump's border wall Prototypes are ready to test, but it's a bit more complicated in Texas Senior White House officials cast the plan as a centrist compromise that could win support from both parties and enough votes to pass the Senate, according to CBC. But it comes with a long list of concessions that many Democrats, and also conservative Republicans, especially in the House, may find impossible to swallow. The plan, announced Thursday, was applauded by some in Congress, but blasted by conservative activists as amnesty and slammed by a slew of Democrats, who accused President Donald Trump of holding Dreamers hostage to his hard-line immigration agenda. The plan would provide a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 690,000 younger immigrants protected from deportation by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as well as hundreds of thousands of others who independent estimates say qualify for the program, but never applied. The plan would not allow parents of those immigrants to seek lawful status, the officials said. Plan excludes parents Trump announced last year that he was doing away with the program, but gave Congress until March to come up with a legislative fix. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
