Trump pushes bipartisan immigration deal but renews demand on border wall
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -  U.S. President Donald Trump  urged lawmakers on Tuesday to find a bipartisan solution to protect thousands of young  undocumented immigrants from deportation but repeated  his  demand that any agreement must include funding for a border wall with Mexico.
At a White House meeting of Republican and Democratic lawmakers   Trump  said  he  would sign any bill that gives protection to young “Dreamer” immigrants as long as  it  had the border security protections  he  has sought.
“If you don’t have the wall  you don’t have security ”  Trump  told the lawmakers.
 Trump  and  his  fellow Republicans  who control the U.S. Congress  have been unable to reach agreement with Democrats on a deal to resolve the status of an estimated 700 000 young immigrants whose protection from potential deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals  or DACA  program ends in early March.
Under pressure from immigrant groups ahead of midterm congressional elections in November  Democrats are reluctant to give ground to Trump on the issue of the wall - Trump’s central promise from the 2016 presidential campaign.
 Trump  put their fate in doubt in early September when  he  announced  he  was ending former President Barack Obama’s DACA program  which allowed them to legally live and work in the United States temporarily.
“Democrats are for security at the border ” Hoyer told Trump during the meeting. “There are obviously differences  however  Mr. President  on how you affect that.”
Trump  under pressure from some conservatives  repeated his demand that any DACA deal with Democrats must include ending “chain migration ” which could jeopardize the parents of Dreamers who are still in the United States illegally  and a visa lottery program.
