Democrats say no Dreamer solution after John Kelly meeting
January 17, 2018
Two Democratic lawmakers said White House chief of staff John Kelly offered no legislative solutions to protect people brought to the United States illegally as children in a meeting on Wednesday with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Democratic Senator Bob Menendez told Reuters the White House is making unacceptable demands on immigration measures related to "Dreamer" protections. Luis Gutierrez, a Democratic congressman, said the caucus' meeting with Kelly was positive but he offered no solution to the immigration standoff.
