POLITICS East Oregonian Page 6A Friday, September 15, 2017 Deal or no deal? ‘Dreamers’ wait as Trump, lawmakers joust By ERICA WERNER and JILL COLVIN Associated Press Trump tests loyal base with immigration flirtation with Dems By JULIE PACE and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press WASHINGTON — The fate of 800,000 young immi- grants hung in the balance Thursday as top lawmakers, White House officials and President Donald Trump himself squabbled over whether an agreement had been struck to protect them — and if so, exactly what it was. In the face of an intense backlash from conservatives inside the Capitol and out, Speaker Paul Ryan and other GOP House members adamantly insisted that there was no agreement to enshrine protections for the immigrants brought to America as children and now here illegally. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Senate Republican, put it this way: There was “a deal to make a deal.” Trump himself said he was “fairly close” to an agreement that could protect the young “Dreamers” while also adding border security, as long as his long-prom- ised wall with Mexico was also separately addressed. Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer — whose dinner with Trump Wednesday night was at the heart of the controversy — insisted there was discussion and even agreement on legislation that would offer eventual citizenship to the immigrants in question. “We agreed it would be the DREAM Act,” Schumer told reporters, referring to a bipartisan bill that would allow immigrants brought here as children and now in the U.S. illegally to work their way to citizenship in as little as five years if they meet certain requirements. But one person familiar with the meeting said the president had agreed not to the DREAM Act, but to narrower legislation that would make permanent the protections offered by AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Donald Trump responds to a reporters question as he boards Air Force One for a trip to Florida to meet with first responders and people impacted by Hur- ricane Irma, Thursday in Andrews Air Force Base, Md. President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Child- hood Arrivals program. What was clear was that the outcome for the “Dreamers” themselves was still unresolved and subject to much further debate and negotiation — and that the politics of immigration, which has defeated Congress for years, remained as tricky and explosive as ever. After winning the White House on a campaign that was remarkably harsh toward immigrants and revolved around construction of an enormous wall along the entire border with Mexico, Trump’s sudden pivot infu- riated some of his closest allies, and seemed to contain more potential to alienate his base than any of his other unconventional moves. “He was so explicit during the campaign on the issue of the border wall and border security that if he were to backtrack on that promise I don’t think he’d have a single friend left in the country. Democrats aren’t going to support him and he would lose the entire Republican base,” said GOP Rep. Tom McClin- tock of California. “This was a core explicit and graphically clear promise he made to the American people.” “At this point, who DOESN’T want Trump impeached?” conservative commentator Ann Coulter remarked over Twitter. Administration officials quickly recognized the danger in the backlash, and the White House shifted into damage control mode, with press secre- tary Sarah Huckabee Sanders denying a deal had been struck or the wall excluded from it. Some also wondered aloud on Thursday whether the president was aware of the minutiae of the DREAM Act legislation discussed on Wednesday, including the fact that it includes an eventual path to citizenship. “We’re not looking at citi- zenship, we’re not looking at amnesty. We’re looking at allowing people to stay here,” Trump told reporters as he traveled to view hurri- cane damage in Florida. “But very importantly, what we want: We have to have a wall,” Trump said. “If we don’t have a wall, we’re doing nothing.” Despite Trump’s denial, two people briefed on Wednesday night’s proceedings said that citizenship was explicitly mentioned when Democrats raised the DREAM Act. Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, who was among the group dining on Chinese food (a Schumer favorite) in the White House Blue Room, spoke up to say that the bill does include a pathway to citizenship, according to the people briefed, who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the private proceedings. Another person familiar with the meeting said that as the president and Schumer were going back and forth, hashing out the confines of the agreement, the president kept referencing DACA, while Schumer kept talking about the DREAM Act. After Mulvaney piped in to make clear the distinction, the president signaled he under- stood the difference and was talking about DACA, the person said. WASHINGTON — Few issues have animated President Donald Trump’s ardent supporters more than his pledge to build a wall along the nation’s Southern border. Now, Trump’s decision to put that promise aside — at least temporarily — while he pursues a deal with Democrats to protect young immigrants brought to the country illegally may test the limits of that loyalty. Some avid Trump backers praised the president as a pragmatist trying to make deals with whomever he can. But others recoiled at the prospect of Trump joining forces with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on immigra- tion, and seeming to get little in return. “Many supporters of the president wonder whether our king has been captured and (White House chief of staff John) Kelly and a clique of generals and their globalist friends are now governing,” said Roger Stone, a longtime informal adviser to Trump. His comments reflected the growing concern among some Trump backers about the diminished presence of nationalist advisers. Amy Kremer, who founded the group Women Vote Trump, likened the president’s deal-making with Democrats to one of history’s most notorious political flip-flops: Presi- dent George H.W. Bush’s broken campaign-trail vow that he wouldn’t raise taxes. “If the wall doesn’t get done and he gives amnesty, he’ll lose the base,” Kremer said. “You’re going to see an absolute revolt.” The worries were sparked by Trump’s startling efforts to forge consensus F RIDAY A FTERNOON & E VENING ABC NBC CBS FOX 12 PM 12:30 1 PM (11) KFFX KPTV (19) KEPR KOIN (25) KNDU KGW (42) KVEW KATU PBS (31) KTNW (59) OPB Paid CABLE S EPTEMBER 15, 2017 2 PM 2:30 3 PM 3:30 Paterni- Divorce Divorce Judge Mathis 11 Program ty Court Court Court Wendy Williams 3 12 O' News (N) Funn- Bold & B.

Trump, Schumer and Pelosi discussed the matter at a private White House dinner Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, the president — a former Democrat himself — and the minority leaders appeared largely aligned. Trump said an agreement to allow the young immigrants to stay in the country would have to include “massive border security.” But he pointedly said a border wall, which is staunchly opposed by Democrats, could come later. He’s outlined no specific path for ultimately making that happen. While allowing young people who came to the U.S. illegally to stay in the country is broadly popular, immigration hardliners consider it amnesty. As a candidate, Trump vowed to repeal the executive action signed by President Barack Obama allowing the young people to stay. But he’s struggled with the issue as president, often speaking sympathetically about the young immigrants. Earlier this month, he announced that he would rescind their protections in March, but said he wanted Congress to pass legislation protecting them from deportation. Trump has tested the limits of his supporters’ loyalty before, often to find that they were unshaken by his policy reversals. He failed to fulfill his pledge to repeal Obama’s signature health care law. He’s backed off his tough talk on China, declining to label Beijing a currency manipulator. The United States is still a party to the Iran nuclear deal, despite Trump’s promise to rip up the agreement. 2 PM 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 Two and Mike & a Half Molly Judy Judy Judge Judge Judy Judy KOIN 6 News (N) Ellen DeGeneres Channing Tatum KGW News (N) The Dr. Oz Show KATU News (N) Wild Odd Kratts Squad Ready Odd Jet Go!
