STERLING, Va./ WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress made no notable progress this week toward a deal on the status of 700,000 “Dreamer” immigrants, with President Donald Trump saying on Friday that one “could very well not happen” by a deadline next month.
Whether the lack of progress signaled the possibility of another federal government shutdown next week was unclear, but it worried the Dreamers, young people who were brought illegally into the United States as children.
Trump said last year that he would end by March 5 a program that was set up by former President Barack Obama to protect the Dreamers from deportation, and he urged Congress to act before that date. No action has resulted.
“We want to make a deal,” Trump said at an event in Virginia with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. And he blamed Democratic lawmakers for the impasse.
“I think they want to use it for political purposes for elections. I really am not happy with the way it’s going from the standpoint of the Democrats,” he said.

Just do what JER did for the last guy sayin he had a dream, shoot them!
The Democratic Party needs the Dreamers to stay Dreamers. If they become actual citizens, then they would lose the stranglehold and support they have on them.
The Dems turned down the Dreamers for The Wall deal that the Republicans offered. They should be mad a Pelosi/Schumer for not accepting the deal instead of Trump.
To dumb to figure that out. However. I'm sure the Dreamers want more - citizenship; chain migration; free education ; free welfare for them and the whole family. Like our President Trump said America has Dreamers. What about them. Pelosi has so much money she is just bored and all of this is a game to her. See doesn't need crumbs
I dream of the US we had in the 1970s
Boy those were good days.
We used to be free
