(AP)<\/span><\/p>\nTrump in recent weeks has turned to Schumer and Pelosi amid frustration with Senate Republicans, after they repeatedly failed to repeal and replace ObamaCare, denying him a major legislative victory and the ability to fulfill a top campaign promise.<\/p>\n
Trump left the earlier meeting touting his efforts with \u201cChuck and Nancy\u201d but was not specific about whether wall funding was a necessity.<\/p>\n
The administration’s requirements announced Sunday include additional crackdowns on\u00a0\u201csanctuary cities\u201d that protect illegal immigrants; reducing the number of incoming refugees; 10,000 more Customs and Border Patrol agents; and\u00a0new initiatives curbing the number of unaccompanied immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally as children.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the last several decades, respect for the rule of law has broken down and immigration enforcement has been sacrificed for the sake of political expediency,\u201d Attorney General Jeff Sessions said after the announcement. \u201cThis plan will work.\u201d<\/p>\n
House Speaker Paul Ryan\u2019s spokesman Doug Andres said the GOP-controlled chamber\u2019s immigration working group would review the roughly 70-point White House list, then consult with the entire Republican caucus and the administration.<\/p>\n
The White House plan is considered a starting point for congressional negotiations.<\/p>\n
While the plan is already being embraced by Capitol Hill\u2019s most conservative members, including a number of immigration hawks, backlash is growing among Democrats.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is immoral for the president to use the lives of these young people as bargaining chips in his quest to impose his cruel, anti-immigrant and un-American agenda on our nation,\u201d said New Mexico Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The House Freedom Caucus, the chamber\u2019s most conservative wing, is backing the plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe applaud the administration’s leadership on principles that will be critical to any immigration policy changes,\u201d said caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C. \u201cWe look forward to the administration’s insistence on these principles in any deal that is signed into law.”<\/p>\n
In dismantling DACA, the administration has argued it was forced to act because federal courts were ready to rule the program was unconstitutional, which would have put the Dreamers\u2019 future in jeopardy.<\/p>\n
Trump, in announcing the end of DACA, gave Congress six months to find a legislative alternative.<\/p>\n
The White House on Sunday night also asked to limit family-based green cards to spouses and the minor children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, in addition to creating a point-based system.<\/p>\n
And it called for boosting fees at border crossings, making it easier to deport gang members and unaccompanied children, and overhauling the asylum system.<\/p>\n
Conway also said Monday that the White House requests are the result of collaborations with such agencies as the departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services as well as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.<\/p>\n
