Schumer kills deal that would protect Dreamers for wall funding

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Schumer has retracted his offer to help fund President Trump’s border wall with Mexico in exchange for helping young undocumented immigrants.
The Senate’s Democratic leader informed the White House on Sunday he’s no longer willing to back a “much larger” funding package than the $1.6 billion Trump had wanted last year, The Post has confirmed.
Schumer “took it off” the table, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin told Politico, which first reported the retraction. “He called the White House yesterday and said it’s over.”
The change of heart comes as Schumer backed a deal to reopen the government Monday after a three-day shutdown.
In exchange for continuing funding through Feb. 8, Schumer got a verbal commitment from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that the Senate would take up legislation to keep Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients from being deported.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said Schumer did the right thing to back off the wall funding.
“Sen. Schumer is very emphatically, clearly saying, look, if you are not willing to step forward and be part of this conversation about DACA, (then) forget the wall,” Merkley told CNN Tuesday.
While Democrats have backed border security measures in the past, they have routinely snubbed Trump’s border wall as costly, unrealistic and a symbol of anti-immigrant policies.
Republicans have also been slow to fund the giant border wall that Trump insists Mexico will eventually fund.
Schumer offered the wall funding Friday over a cheeseburger lunch with Trump. Without a deal in place, Democrats balked at funding the government without assurances to protect the children of undocumented immigrants, who can be deported starting March 5 under Trump’s executive action.
Trump wants Congress to come up with a permanent legislative solution to the so-called Dreamers.
Liberals fumed that Schumer caved too soon by ending the shutdown without a solid DACA deal in place.
But moderate senators believe they can get an immigration deal through the Senate. The much tougher hurdle is passing it in the more conservative House.
