President Trump now says he backs a deal in Congress to protect the young undocumented immigrants known as “Dreamers,” if it was accompanied by a “massive” border security upgrade — not necessarily his promised border wall. Trump hashed out the tentative arrangement over dinner on Wednesday night at the White House with top-ranking congressional Democrats Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California. Trump’s conservative backers were not happy about his accommodation with Democrats about DACA and the wall. [The New York Times]
