House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called reports of a deal to be proposed by President Trump to end a record-long partial government shutdown a “non-starter.”
“Democrats were hopeful that the President was finally willing to re-open government and proceed with a much-need discussion to protect the border. Unfortunately, initial reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives,” she said in a statement.
“It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter.”
Reports surfaced Saturday that Trump would propose a deal that would temporarily extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients and introduce legislation extending the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders in exchange for his requested $5.7 billion for a border wall.

And I stand behind her 100%. No wall. No way. No how. Just No. 
That was NOT a "proposal to open the government."
Trump said nothing about opening the government, not even at the end when he could have said, "Do all that and we'll open the government." He didn't even say that.
Frankly, if Pelosi gave in to that, Trump would probably still not open the gov't.
