Federal judge blocks Trump's attempt to let DACA expire for current recipients

Trump's openness last week indicates he's willing to deal; Democrats have shown no such openness. Voters who gave him an upset victory in 2016 might swallow legalizing the "Dreamers", who are here through no fault of their own, but they would quickly abandon him if they thought he was giving in on considering making the more than 12 million illegal immigrants here legal. The issue also enjoys a fair measure of bipartisan backing in Congress. Trump denied the report, but Democratic Sen.

During a closed-door meeting to discuss the proposal, Trump reportedly questioned why the US would accept more immigrants from Haiti and "shithole countries" in Africa. And can a government shutdown be averted? During that meeting, Trump called for Congress to find a solution for dreamers waiting in limbo after Trump ended the program. The Trump administration terminated the program and gave Congress until March to come up with a permanent solution.

Late Tuesday, a court ruling added a new element to an already unpredictable environment.

The bishops also "are pleased to see the mutual understanding that ensuring protection for these young people should be the first step in the systematic reform of our outdated immigration laws", said Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin, Texas, referring to those now protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Though, an appeals court ruled this week that benefits from the order must stay in place for now. For now, there is no mechanism by which DACA recipients can reapply for the program.

The Quinnipiac University Poll found 63 per cent of USA voters oppose building a wall where Trump wants it, along the almost 2,000-mile border.

In an extraordinary televised negotiating session with lawmakers on Tuesday, Mr. Trump expressed enthusiasm for a potential deal without a firm grasp of the specifics. But anti-immigrant anti-compromise Republicans could - if there was a deal that could bring in Democratic support - lose the power they have. However, the parents of Dreamers would be able to obtain a three-year, renewable legal status.

Immigration advocates said they were somewhat heartened by Mr. Trump's seeming flexibility and stated desire to make a deal. We need the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in. No. People with the requisite work or educational background in other countries apply to US consulates for the lottery and, if drawn, go through the usual vetting process for any immigrant.

Trump migration comments point to racial approach
African nations and El Salvador -also said to have been targeted in Trump's comments on immigration - have had plenty to say. The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee noted that Friday was the eighth anniversary of the Haiti quake after Mr.

Swansea hold misfiring Newcastle to 1-1 draw
Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has ruled out any possibility of his club selling Jonjo Shelvey to West Ham this month. Newcastle had created a series of first-half chances, but they couldn't find a way past Lukasz Fabianski.

Trump said it needn't be a "2,000-mile wall".

Immigration talks emerged as Democrats pushed for the federal government to provide some kind of legal protection for immigrants who came to the United States as undocumented minors.

The whole issue is a potential landmine for Republicans, who risk alienating the growing population of Latino voters on one side and angering the strongly anti-immigration elements of Trump's base on the other. The former staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, noted that the President is often a moving target where policy is concerned.

On Jan. 11, Flake was part of a bipartisan group of senators who pitched Trump a plan that addressed all the concerns he outlined in his tweet.

As of now, there seems to be little appetite for forcing a shutdown.

The Center for American Progress (CAP) Action Fund memo, which circulated Monday, called on Democrats to "refuse to offer any votes for Republican spending bills that do not offer a fix for Dreamers and instead appropriate funds to deport them". But they will continue to lobby their legislators as they have over the previous year.
