Democrats Look To Trump On DREAM Act After He Puts Expiration Date On DACA Program
President Trump appears to be in the mood to make deals with Democrats — and Democrats see an opportunity to protect young immigrants.
On Wednesday, the president overruled leaders of his own party — and members of his own Cabinet — to back a plan pushed by Democrats to pair hurricane relief aid to a short-term hike in the debt ceiling along with a measure to keep the government funded until early December.
Democrats hope the president's apparent willingness to work across the aisle will extend to the legislative push to replace the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Trump is phasing out the Obama-era immigration policy while first giving Congress six months to codify it. . .
