WASHINGTON _ Top White House adviser Jared Kushner told members of Latino advocacy organizations Thursday that President Donald Trump was willing to give 1.8 million "Dreamers" permanent protections from deportation and to reopen the government in exchange for $25 billion in border security, including some wall funding, LULAC President Domingo Garcia said.
Officials from the League of United Latin American Citizens, Libre Initiative and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce met with President Donald Trump's son-in-law _ and briefly, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen _ on Thursday to discuss ways to find a compromise in order to reopen the government.
"He basically wanted to find out what the Latino community would agree to, what were our red lines that we would not cross and which ones were negotiable," Garcia told McClatchy.
