Dreamers’ must wait as
Trump, lawmakers joust
By Erica Werner and Jill Colvin
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The fate
of 800,000 young immigrants
hung in the balance Thursday as
top lawmakers, White House of-
ficials and President Donald
Trump himself squabbled over
whether an agreement had been
struck to protect them — and if
so, exactly what it was.
In the face of intense backlash
from conservatives inside the
Capitol and out, Speaker Paul
Ryan and other GOP House
members adamantly insisted that
there was no agreement to en-
shrine protections for the immi-
grants broughtto America as chil-
dren and now here illegally.
John Comyn of Texas, the
No. 2 Senate Republican, put it
this way: There was “a deal to
make a deal.”
Trump himself said he was
“fairly close” to an agreement
that could protect the young
“Dreamers” while also adding
border security, as long as his
long-promised wall with Mexico
was also separately addressed.
Democratic leaders Nancy
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer —
whose dinner with Trump on
Wednesday night was at the
heart of the controversy — in-
sisted there was discussion and
even agreement on legislation
that would offer eventual citi-
zenship to the immigrants in
question.
“We agreed it would be the
DREAM Act,” Schumer told re-
porters, referring to a bipartisan
bill that would allow immi-
grants brought here as children
and now in the U.S. illegally to
work their way to citizenship in
as little as five years if they meet
certain requirements.
What was clear was that the
outcome for the “Dreamers”
themselves was still unresolved
and subject to much further de-
bate and negotiation — and that

President Donald Trump responds to a reporter’s question as
he boards Air Force One for a trip to Florida to meet with first
responders and people impacted by Hurricane Irma, on
Thursday at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.
the politics of immigration,
which has defeated Congress for
years, remained as tricky and ex-
plosive as ever.
After winning the White
House on a campaign that was
remarkably harsh toward immi-
grants and revolved around con-
struction of an enormous wall
along the entire border with
Mexico, Trump’s sudden pivot
infuriated some of his closest al-
lies, and seemed to contain more
potential to alienate his base
than any of his other unconven-
tional moves.
“He was so explicit during
the campaign on the issue of the
border wall and border security
that if he were to backtrack on
that promise I don’t think he’d
have a single friend left in the
country. Democrats aren’t going
to support him and he would
lose the entire Republican base,”
said GOP Rep. Tom McClintock
of California. “This was a core
explicit and graphically clear
promise he made to the Amer- mg.'
ican people.”
“At this point, who DOESN’T
want Trump impeached?” con-
servative commentator Ann
Coulter remarked over Twitter.

officials
quickly recognized the danger in
the backlash, and the White
House shifted into damage con-
trol mode, with press secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders deny-
ing a deal had been struck or the
wall excluded from it. Some also
wondered aloud on Thursday
whether the president was
aware of the minutiae of the
DREAM Act legislation discuss-
ed on Wednesday, including the
fact that it includes an eventual
path to citizenship.
‘We’re not looking at citizen-
ship, we’re not looking at amnes-
ty. We’re looking at allowing
people to stay here,” Trump told
reporters as he traveled to view
hurricane damage in Florida.
‘And we’re working with every-
body. Republican. We’re work-
ing with Democrat.”
“But very importantly, what
we want: We have to have a
wall,” Trump said. “If we don’t
have a wall, we’re doing noth-

than eight percent, the qualified voters of the district by petition

reduce the operation and maintenance tax rate to the rollback tax

For their part, immigrant ad-
vocates and Latino lawmakers
reacted cautiously, with several
saying that any celebration
would be premature.
