Sen. McConnell promised that the “Senate will immediately proceed to consideration of legislation” to protect Dreamers if negotiators fail to reach a deal before the expiration of the stop gap spending measure.
The Congress passed the stop gap spending measure to reopen the federal government until February 8. Pres. Trump signed it into law. The federal government reopened on Tuesday.
In a statement, Pres. Trump said he was happy the Democrats have come to their senses. He reiterated that his “administration will work toward solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration.”
Additionally, the President said, “We will make a long-term deal on immigration if and only if it is good for our country.”
