Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged Democrats to proceed with caution as they begin negotiating a deal with President Trump protecting young illegal immigrants from deportation before the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program end in March. "I don't like the starting point of this negotiation, and I think the Democrats have to exercise extreme caution because basically what the transaction is is the president saying to the Democrats, 'I'll give you what you already have,' which is DACA," Cuomo said in a radio interview Sunday with 970 AM.

Nancy Pelosi at the White House, he said he'd be willing to consider legislation that protects "Dreamers" from deportation if it includes provisions for "massive border security."
