Wednesday, President Trump presented a proposal to reopen the government: Protections for DACA and TPS recipients in exchange for border wall funding.

However, critics of the President’s proposal say it’s not a compromise, but an underhanded effort to make major changes in U.S. Immigration Law.

Todd Schulte is President of FWD.US, a pro immigration organization. He says changes to U.S. Asylum Laws were quietly buried in the 1,300 page bill.  

“It eliminates people’s ability, if they show up at the border, they show up at a port of entry, to legally apply for asylum,” says Schulte. 

The President’s bill would set a cap of 1,500 children a year who could be granted asylum.  

Those from Central America would have to wait for approval in their home countries which could take years.

If the President’s bill fails Thursday, the Senate will vote on a Democratic spending bill that would reopen the government and restart negotiations on border security.
