Trump ups the ante on immigration deal to avoid shutdown
By Rick Moran
Donald Trump has drawn a line in the sand on deal to keep the government operating past January 19. Democrats are demanding that Trump address the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, which would legalize hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.
