Trump is being used
Senators from both parties said they were encouraged on Thursday about the prospects for bipartisan immigration talks after U.S. President Donald Trump said he was open to a path to citizenship for immigrants brought illegally to the country as children.
Republican Trump has said protections for the young immigrants will end in March unless Congress passes a new law, but told reporters that he might extend the deadline if lawmakers can not reach an agreement by March 5 and that he thinks an immigration deal is possible. "Whatever they're doing, if they do a great job, I think it's a nice thing to have the incentive of, after a period of years, being able to become a citizen". "Tell them not to worry about it", Trump said of DACA recipients who anxious about their legal status. "I hope the President will say, here's what we need and here's what we'll stick with".
However, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer this week withdrew an offer of funding for Mr Trump's proposed border barrier.
The proposals, which are likely to find resistance from some of Mr Trump's conservative allies, also include tighter restrictions on legal immigration and 25 billion United States dollars (£18 billion) in border security.
However, a senior administration official later said no final decision has been reached yet over the issue.
But that changed after the intervention of more conservative Republicans in Congress, and some top White House aides. His statement came days after a shutdown and after many Republicans had resigned themselves to the fact that they might have to go it alone on immigration.

Pelosi called Guzman "a respected advocate and community leader who represents the best of our nation's ideals". His speech about healthcare on his Facebook page had more than 3 million views in a recent tally.
Across the aisle, Rep. Luis Gutierrez who has devoted much of his time in Congress to immigration reform, slammed the proposal, saying on Twitter "It would be far cheaper to erect a 50-foot concrete statue of a middle finger and point it towards Latin America".
In exchange for a path to citizenship - what immigration hawks would call amnesty - the White House is asking for $25 billion to fully fund the border wall, an end to chain migration and ending the visa lottery system.
"I choose to find that encouraging", said Sen.
DACA immigrants can reapply without an attorney, but numerous volunteers at the center say it's best not to risk it, as even the slightest error can result in a denied application.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell lauded the Trump plan, thanking the president for putting it forward.
"We're grateful for the president showing leadership on this issue and believe his ideas will help us ultimately reach a balanced solution", said Doug Andres, spokesman for Ryan.
The latest approach by the White House suggested a key development in negotiations over the illegal immigrants who faced deportation as early as March.
The President has previously rejected bipartisan proposals to continue DACA, leading to the January 19 standoff between Senate Republicans and Democrats that resulted in a three-day government shutdown.
