A move in the right direction.
McCain, Coons bill gives permanent legal status to Dreamers
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) are set to unveil a bipartisan immigration bill today that gives permanent legal status to Dreamers who have been in the U.S. since 2013, and ramps up security on the southern border. The bill does not immediately include funding for Trump's wall, the Washington Post reports.
Why it matters: Trump tweeted just this morning that any DACA deal that doesn't include "the desperately needed WALL is a total waste of time." The bill also does not address family-based (or "chain") migration or the diversity lottery, which have been top White House priorities.
