Green cards. Democrats say the president isnt negotiating in good faith. Here is what Kellyanne Conway had to say on fox friends this morning. He is open to a deal, open to figuring out a way to have a broader immigration policy that certainly addresses daca, the dreamer program. But along with all these other critical functions. They should be calling their friends chuck and nancy. Sandra Kristin Fisher is live at the white house with more on this. Good morning, for anyone worried that President Trump might be on the verge of backing off some of his Core Campaign promises this should make them feel a lot better.
