The conversation included what to do to replace the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program  which protects young undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation  now that  Trump  has announced an end to the program.
Trump  attendees said  remains focused on finding a solution while also emphasizing border security. But it was unclear whether  Trump 's border wall would have to be a part of any DACA deal
At the dinner was House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy  House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte  Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn  Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton and Georgia Sen. David Perdue  according to the White House. Cornyn has introduced a $15 billion border security bill  Goodlatte has been a longtime proponent of tough immigration enforcement measures  and Cotton and Perdue have introduced legislation that  Trump  has endorsed that would halve and transform the US green card system.
Cornyn told reporters he got the sense that  Trump  is ultimately focused on reaching a deal and that he wasn't "fixed on any particular point of view."
