President Trump on Thursday denied that a deal was reached with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi over DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The two Democratic leaders announced after a dinner meeting with Trump on Wednesday that a deal had been reached.
“We had a very productive meeting at the White House with the President,” they wrote in a joint statement. “The discussion focused on DACA. We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides.”
The president took to Twitter early Thursday to explain that wasn’t true.
“No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote,” he wrote.

“The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built,” he added.

He then followed up suggesting he did not want to see Dreamers kicked out of the country.
“Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really! They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security,” he wrote.

There are approximately 800,000 illegal immigrant minors who are currently being protected under the DACA program.
DACA without RAISE act = Reagan amnesty.
Demspeak for water stations.
Chuck and Nancy are distorting reality? No way!
NO DACA, period. I don’t like to be played for a fool, Donald. It rewards lawlessness. What good can possible come from you meeting alone with DEMOCRATS. It’s bad enough that Jared and Ivanka and McMastermind and Tillerson are all socialists, to name just a few.
NeverTrumpers and Cruslims in here to spin in 2 seconds.
Any time you hear”security” in place of our wall, be aware that in rino speak for “screw you”. It means “no wall” and millions more illegal aliens for the chamber of commerce sell out bastards.
LIBs/DIMs/RINOs are dishonest. What’s new???
Fake president
The Republicans will insist that criminals be excluded and subject to deportation. That will be the deal breaker for Democrats. In the cold light of day , Republicans will not have to acknowledge that they agreed to amnesty for criminal aliens.
Never Trump again. Yes, I just said it.
Looks like flip-flopping to me. Back and forth - to please his base and Pelosi and Schumer, so he thinks.
He has to understand he was put into office specifically to put an end to illegal immigration and is on record stating he’d “end DACA his first day in office.”
He will NEVER please Pelosi and Schumer and he’ll lose his base in the process.
Soon to be zotted.
“It rewards lawlessness.”
YES! DACA is unconstitutional caca.
President Trump, BUILD THAT WALL! That’s why we elected you.
Dane? Is that you?

Amnesty, plain and simple. He shooting for and it he's going to do it.
are u antifa or what?
no different opinion allowed, I get it
To give into DACA requires the competition of the Wall first, plus passing the Trump immigration proposal and on his desk. Then and only then should he give an inch on DACA and then only the bonafide DACA, no relatives.
Yep. Independent thought alert.
Viking Kitty!! Get used to it. We have been lax lately.
