Reports are swirling that Trump is planning on proposing a DACA\/TPS extension in exchange for a wall.\u00a0 Mostly this is twitter chatter, but here\u2019s what the political news site Axios has to say:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
President Trump plans to use remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room on Saturday afternoon to propose a notable immigration compromise, according to sources familiar with the speech.<\/p>\n
Details:\u00a0<\/strong>The offer is expected to include Trump\u2019s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act \u2014 which would extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) \u2014 and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Twitter-Democrats say this is a nonstarter.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s Jake Tapper quoting nonspecified someones:<\/p>\n
\n
3\/\u201c\u2026 The President must agree to re-open government and join Democrats to negotiate on border security measures that work and not an expensive and ineffective wall that the President promised Mexico would pay for.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jake Tapper <\/p>\n
And here\u2019s a random twitter reply to a separate tweet, which is representative\u00a0of much of what I\u2019m seeing:<\/p>\n
\n
Temporary protection, permanent wall.<\/p>\n
