(2,374 posts)If Trump really wanted DACA, all he has to do is get someone to present a clean DACA bill that he would support.
EDIT:
"In effect," the president said, "I am not going to just cut DACA off, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act."

(58,785 posts)the world's best negotiator lost big time (no funding for his wall-style monument.)
During an early round of negotiations, Trump told lawmakers he would work with them on a bill of love, only to throw cold water on plans that didnt include his wants, including cuts to family-based migration and the diversity visa lottery program.
There were reports that the White House and congressional leaders were discussing a plan to push through a short-term extension of the DACA program that was tied to border funding, but no such plan was included in the omnibus package.
As the spending deadline rapidly approached, the White House had proposed tying $25 billion in wall funding to a three-year extension of DACA. Democrats, however, could not agree to that plan because it did not include a path to citizenship for the nearly 1.8 million people who are considered Dreamers, according to the Washington Post.
The Post reports that Democrats proposed tying the $25 billion in border funding to a path to citizenship for the entire Dreamer population, but the White House would not agree to protecting all 1.8 million without broader immigration changes.
