The White House, which expressed confidence the deal could get 60 votes in the Senate and earn similar bipartisan agreement in the House of Representatives, said it will unveil the full plan on Monday.

Reaction among conservatives to President Donald Trump's proposal for amnesty for 1.8 million young illegal immigrants in exchange for increased border security and immigration restrictions is mixed on Capitol Hill, lawmakers say.

It includes a permanent fix on DACA, funding for a border wall and ends the visa lottery and chain migration programs. The pathway to citizenship element of the framework was largely denounced by immigration restrictionists. "We're going to see". Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) - are "willing to shift more" on their stance on protecting DACA recipients if it means Trump will get his border wall. All came to the United States as children, and make up a much larger group than is now protected from deportation by the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. Trump ended the program in September, citing its likely unconstitutionality. "I'm more in the middle", said Caldwell, expressing surprise that the left is against this proposal.

In addition to the billions Trump is seeking for the wall's construction, he is seeking an additional indeterminate funding boost for new immigration enforcement hires.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the new White House immigration deal for some "Dreamers" actually "represents a compromise that members of both parties can support".

Rep. Carlos Curbelo said Trump's proposal diverges significantly from partisan legislation recently introduced in the House, and he is hopeful.

The White House designed that element of the plan in hopes that it would provide a strong enticement for Democrats.

He said that he and Trump spent 90 minutes discussing a possible immigration deal, including as much as 20 minutes on a wall.

While the plan calls for doubling the number of Dreamers, it is far from generous as it only allows the immigrants to apply for citizenship after 10 to 12 years and only if they have jobs and have not committed any crimes.

It proposes to curtail so-called chain migration, permitting United States residents only to get visas for their spouse and children, not for extended family members.

"DACA itself did not have a pathway to citizenship", Cruz said. The announcement comes after Democrats agreed to end the government shutdown on the grounds that Republicans agreed to the Senate meeting to discuss the Dream Act and other issues.
