Thursday afternoon, Vice President Mike Pence announced that Pres. Trump would not sign off on such a deal. Politico reported:
Vice President Mike Pence and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney had been consulting with senators about the matter on Thursday. Pence and Mulvaney took the idea to the president, who shot it down, according to multiple people directly involved in the talks.

Gang of 8 sponsor, Sen. Lindsey Graham, working on DACA
amnesty deal –
Urge Senate
Republicans to oppose!
Amnesty-supporter, Sen. Lindsey
Graham (R-SC), met with several other Senate Republicans and Pres. Trump's
son-in-law, Jared Kushner, on Wednesday to draw up an 'Amnesty-for-Wall' deal
that they will pitch to Senate Democrats today [i.e., yesterday].
Voters didn't elect Donald Trump to
the White House back in 2016 to pass an amnesty. They elected him because he
was strong on enforcement and understood mass immigration's harmful impacts on
American workers and their quality of life.
We need your urgent
phone calls to senate republicans urging them to oppose any deal that
trades border funding for amnesty!
Here is the number for your GOP
Senator(s):
Sen. Rob Portman -- (202)
224-3353
You can also call the White House
and tell Pres. Trump not to support an amnesty-for-wall deal!

It’s always good to have a better alternative when you are
the phone or leaving a message. Here’s CTP's Ralph King’s suggested alternative (from
his social media):
Instead of contemplating a deal of
backdoor amnesty for DACA DREAMERS in exchange for Wall Funding, President
Trump & the so-called "conservatives" in Congress should be
pushing for Mandatory E-Verify.....
“Of all of the proposals, however,
E-Verify would be the most effective at curbing illegal entries and limiting
non-immigrant overstays. And the president could likely make it mandatory
through executive action,” added Arthur, now a legal expert with the Center for
Immigration Studies.
The push for the simple employment
verification system, currently a voluntary opt-in for non-government
contractors, comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed stunning
new statistics of workplace enforcement investigations.
