President Donald Trump proposed an immigration deal in a bid to reopen the government, offering a series of concessions that Democrats immediately said weren’t enough to launch any kind of serious negotiations and end the longest shutdown in history. In a speech from the White House Saturday afternoon, Trump said he would extend deportation protections for some undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children in exchange for $5.7 billion for a border wall. As part of the deal, Trump also offered to extend temporary protected status for people in the country who are fleeing countries affected by natural disasters or violence.
