Lindsey Graham Floats Deal: Trump Would Trade 700K Work Permits for $5 Billion for Wall, ‘Border Security’

Sen. Linsdey Graham (R-SC) met with President Donald Trump over lunch on Sunday and suggested a new deal in which the president would renew 700,000 work permits in exchange for $5 billion towards border security.

The premise upon which Graham’s deal is based is that Trump would win the court case currently working its way through the system about the legality of the administration’s decision to cancel President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Trump’s decision was blocked by a California court, whose ruling is still awaiting an appeal decision before the Ninth Circuit.

There would be no deal in which Trump offered legal status to all DACA-eligible illegal aliens — those brought to the U.S. as minors, even if they did not apply for DACA status — according to Graham. The veteran South Carolina Senator, a long-time advocate for immigration reform, said that even he would not provide DACA for $5 billion, because Democrats had refused to provide Trump with the full $25 billion requested for a border wall in return for legalization of all DACA-eligible illegal aliens earlier this year.

This year's Times Square New Year's Eve bash will have a theme, according to New York City's Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment commission: a celebration of the

downtrodden, oppressed members of the mainstream media.

The committee was motivated to declare themselves allies of the press "after Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside of the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Turkey," but also because, they believe, journalists came under fire more often in 2018 than ever before, particularly from world leaders like President Donald Trump (of course).

Breaking with tradition, the Committee will welcome a veritable "who's who" of the mainstream media to the top of Times Square to press the button that triggers the Times Square ball drop, the Hill adds. Guests include:

Rebecca Blumenstein, New York Times deputy managing editor,

Alisyn Camerota, CNN New Day anchor

Vladimir Duthiers, CBS News correspondent and CBSN anchor

Edward Feisenthal, Time Magazine editor-in-chief

Lester Holt, NBC Nightly News and Dateline NBC anchor

Matt Murray, Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief

Martha Raddatz, ABC News chief global affairs correspondent and This Week co-anchor.
