that deadline came and went. about a month ago. federal judges have blocked the president s plan so the dreamers are okay for now. in response to president trump blaming democrats, the california democratic senator dianne feinstein tweeted president trump is absolutely wrong on daca. he unilaterally rescinded daca for no reason and has rejected every single bipartisan proposal that would protect dreamers from deportation. its false to say that democrats walked away from the table. the arizona republican senator jeff flake tweeting, there s plenty of lawmakers on both sides that stand ready to work with the administration on ledge administration to protect daca kids that call america home. let s do it. john roberts is live on the north lawn. hello, john. it was a briefing that kirstjen neilsen gave the president about this caravan of
on the part of the president. he s wanted to blame democrats for the lack of a daca deal for no pathway for these people that came here as kids. but you know, the messaging has been mixed. a few weeks ago, we had the president tweeting the democrats didn t want daca. it s their fault. now he s tweeting that there s no deal to be had. so even that is just muddled. shepard: didn t chuck schumer offer him $25 billion and he wanted more? that s right. we ve had a few different phases. at first there was the original immigration debate in the senate. the white house wanted changes to legal immigration as well as the border wall money. democrats said no to that. then we had it come up again. there was the dreamer protections offered in exchange for $25 billion for the wall. there was still no they couldn t come to an agreement then either. shepard: you wonder. the courts have said you can t kick the daca kids out of here.
