President Donald Trump on Friday said he has tremendous support from Republicans to make a compromise on a path to citizenship for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, despite backlash from his far-right base.
During an interview with CNBC Friday, Trump said the Republican senators hes been courting on immigration reform Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR), David Perdue (R-GA), John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. 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.

(23,155 posts)Repugs are not on board with DACA, this is just a ploy to get $25 million to use as a personal slush fund. He even said the wall will cost around $20 billion and they'd just the other $5 billion (he claimed it would be more, but that's just more lies) for something great! He wants the money and then will give nothing to dreamers, it's all a hoax to further enrich himself, steal from America and please Putin.
