Trump says he did not do an immigration deal with Dems | Daily Mail Online

Trump says he did not do an immigration deal with Dems | Daily Mail Online: Democrats Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi claimed after a dinner at the White House with the president that a DACA deal had been done
They said that Trump agreed to enshrine protections for 800,000 illegal immigrants, aka Dreamers, in a border security package 'excluding the wall'
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders later said that there was no agreement on the wall during the meeting
President Trump said the same thing in a string of tweets on Thursday morning
'No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote,' he said
Follow up message: 'The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built'
Trump again pushed Congress to pass legislation protecting the immigrants - but said he wanted 'BIG border security'
As he left the White House, Trump admitted he was 'fairly close' to reaching a deal with Democrats that excluded the wall and GOP leader are 'on board'
Pelosi and Schumer released a statement around the same time saying the president's tweets were not inconsistent with what they said
When he landed in Florida Trump clarified that there will be a wall, just later, when he's ready for it - and there won't be amnesty for illegal immigrants
