However, the GOP appears willing to meet in the middle with Democrats. According to reports from ABC News, President Trump is open to granting legal status to illegal immigrants known as Dreamers in exchange for Congressional funding for his Southern border wall.

What Do Americans Think About the President’s Border Wall?
Due to the current government shutdown, Congressional leaders are now scrambling to get the government up and running again. President Trump’s border wall and Democrats’ appeals to protect illegal immigrants known as Dreamers appear to be the two playing cards in the search for a resolution.
Americans have taken to social media to opine about the potential compromise of a DACA deal in exchange for funding the President’s border wall:
In all seriousness, people need to learn that in politics & gov., sometimes a compromise is the best solution. You can't always insist on your way 100% of the time in politics. Learn how to adapt, be flexible, and get things done. DACA deal for border wall funding is reasonable. https://t.co/qUn8HSkIGN
