It also would extend protections for those with Temporary Protected Status, a program that allows people from certain countries affected by natural disasters or violence to remain in the U.S.
He then went after Nancy Pelosi in an attempt to explain why she is having such a hard time marshaling her colleagues to end the shutdown. "She is so petrified of the "lefties" in her party that she has lost control", Trump wrote on Twitter.
".And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!" he added, in a seemingly gratuitous aside.
Almost 800,000 federal workers remain without a paycheck in the interim period, with workers expecting to miss another scheduled pay period Friday.
On Saturday, Trump offered Democrats a compromise package on immigration in an effort to end the almost month-long partial government shutdown.
Trump appeared to be responding to conservative critics who accused him of proposing amnesty and reneging on a campaign promise, which could alienate his right-wing base.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged to put Trump's proposal up for a vote in the Senate this week. DACA and TPS were programs previously targeted by the Trump administration, despite bipartisan criticism. He said he was only talking about a three-year extension and that an amnesty would "be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else". "Likewise, there will be no big push to remove the 11 million plus people who are here - illegally - but be careful Nancy!"
Trump had billed the plan as a compromise, but Democrats said it didn't go almost far enough, prompting a flurry of Sunday morning tweets. And while no one really wants to, raising the gas tax will be on the table to fund some of those highway fix projects. "This is not an amnesty bill", he insisted. Clyburn said Trump also now seems to be talking more about "barriers" instead of the wall, a shift Clyburn welcomed.
On Saturday, Trump offered three years of deportation relief for some immigrants as well as changes to asylum rules in return for US$5.7 billion for border walls and assorted other upgrades.
The Kentucky Republican calls Trump's proposal a "fair compromise" for ending the standoff.
Marcos Alonso calls on Chelsea to be 'motivated' by Arsenal defeat
Speaking in his native Italian, an angry Sarri accused his squad of being "extremely difficult" to motivate. I think if you asked at the beginning of the season, 'can Chelsea keep the ball?' - you would have said no.
"It is imperative Speaker Pelosi and the House Democrat majority come to the negotiating table, consider the President's proposal, and actually have a conversation". "What the American people heard yesterday was statesmanship".
Later on Sunday morning, Trump touted his progress on building the wall, even without the necessary funding.
Asked by NBC's Chuck Todd whether Trump's offer signals "progress", Sen.
"The vote this week (in the Senate) is not to pass the bill", said Senator James Lankford, a Republican, "It's to open up and say, can we debate this?" What we can not do, and I've actually had Republicans as well recognize this, is that we can not reward the kind of behavior of hostage taking.
"Again, I'm not getting ahead of the President".
The first concerns about 700,000 Dreamers, who entered the United States with their parents illegally. "I think it's a very bad thing for the Democrats". "I was not fighting for other people's kids the same way I was fighting for my own".
President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday defended their offer to extend protections for the so-called Dreamers in exchange for Democrats' support for $5.7 billion for a southern border wall.
What's unclear is how McConnell will bring Trump's plan forward - or when voting will begin. Pelosi immediately rejected the deal and called it a non-starter.
The partial shutdown is now in its fifth week.
It came after an acrimonious week of tit-for-tat tactics, in which Pelosi told the President he could not deliver his State of the Union address in the Capitol on January 29 until the shutdown was over and Trump retaliated by grounding a plane that was supposed to take the Democrat leader on a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan.
