WASHINGTON — The White House will demand this week that lawmakers harden the border against thousands of children fleeing violence in Central America before President Trump will agree to any deal with Democrats that allows the young undocumented immigrants known as dreamers to stay in the United States legally.
Administration officials said Sunday that Trump would seek to slam shut what they described as loopholes that encouraged parents from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to send their children illegally into the United States, where many of them melt into American communities and become undocumented immigrants.
