<p>President Trump has decided to give in to Democrats&rsquo; demands that he legalize the Dreamers &ndash; hundreds of thousands of young illegals who applied for protections under DACA ;(Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).</p>
<p>Trump recently announced he would be ending the Obama-era policy with a six-month grace period designed to give Congress a chance to figure out what to do about current DACA recipients. He defended DACA recipients on Twitter, calling them, &ldquo;good, educated and accomplished young people&rdquo; who &ldquo;have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Trump is now working with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on a deal he promises will not include the border wall. He has promised that key GOP lawmakers are &ldquo;very much on board&rdquo; with the plan, but more than a few Republicans are angry with his decision to work with the Democrats on this issue.</p>
<p>Some Republicans fear a repeat of the 1986 amnesty that legalized millions of illegals and but failed to uphold its promises of stricter enforcement.</p>
<p>The details of the Trump-Pelosi-Schumer legislation remain unclear, but we expect it will grant full legal status to all Dreamers in exchange for tough border security provisions. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;No deal was made last night on DACA,&rdquo; tweeted Trump on Thursday. &ldquo;Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>If the plan goes through, it will be the second major deal Trump has struck with Pelosi and Schmer this month, ;following an agreement on the debt ceiling and government spending that shocked and angered many Republicans. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;What remains to be negotiated are the details of border security, with a mutual goal of finalizing all details as soon as possible,&rdquo; reads a statement by Pelosi and Schumer. &ldquo;While both sides agreed that the wall would not be any part of this agreement, the President made clear he intends to pursue it at a later time, and we made clear we would continue to oppose it.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Later on Thursday, as Trump traveled to Florida to support the state&rsquo;s citizens in the wake of Hurricane Irma, he reiterated his promise to revisit the border wall: &ldquo;The wall will come later, we&rsquo;re right now renovating large sections of wall, massive sections, making it brand new.&#8221;</p>
<p>The US Customs and Border Patrol has indeed started to move forward on the border wall. Just this month, the agency has started to award contracts to build mock-ups of the wall. Trump has estimated the border wall will cost between $8 and $12 billion and has threatened to shut down the government if Congress doesn&rsquo;t give him the money. ;</p>
