Trump offers 'Dreamers' a path to citizenship wants other immigration curbs
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is offering a path to citizenship for up to 1.8 million young illegal immigrants but insists on measures that would curb some legal immigration programs and provide a border wall with Mexico  senior White House officials said on Thursday.
But the plan comes with significant strings attached to appeal to Republicans  including requirements to slash family sponsorship of immigrants  tighten border security and provide billions of dollars in funding for a border wall with Mexico that  Trump  made one of  his  major campaign promises.
The head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus  Democratic Representative Michelle Lujan Grisham  said the  Trump  plan used Dreamers as âbargaining chips for sweeping anti-immigrant policies.â
