BREAKING: Trump to offer temporary protections for undocumented 'dreamers' in exchange for $5.7 bil
Trump to offer temporary protections for undocumented dreamers in exchange for $5.7 billion for border wall, GOP officials say
BREAKING NEWS: The president is expected to detail the proposal to Democrats in a rare Saturday address at 4 p.m. It comes as the record-breaking government shutdown entered its 29th day.
This story will be updated.
President Trump is preparing to make a new offer to Democrats that could end the record-breaking government shutdown in a rare Saturday address from the White House, while stopping short of declaring a national emergency on the southern border.
With the shutdown in its 29th day, Trump was expected to propose items he believes Democrats favor as part of a broader border-security package, according to two people familiar with White House planning. The hope is the proposal would revive negotiations with congressional Democrats, which have been nonexistent for days.

(52,267 posts)1. agreed. i think any deal has to include an end to the government shutdown crap.
just pass a law that says if there's no new authorization, the old one continues, perhaps with a modest haircut -- but that in any event, workers' salaries are continued without interruption.
some of the annual hostage-taking crap has got to stop.
why the hell do we have such stupidity built-in to the budget process???
