President Donald Trump offered Democrats a concession on immigration but at a price that so far they've been unwilling to accept. The administration Thursday night proposed giving 1.8 million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children a path to citizenship in exchange for drastically reducing family-based migration, a $25 billion trust fund for a border wall, stepped-up security at ports of entry, and stricter internal enforcement. The framework is, in effect, a bottom line for the president, one White House official said when asked if it was negotiable. "These are good people, these are people that should be able to stay in this country," Trump said in an interview with CNBC that aired Friday.
