"The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc," Trump wrote in a Twitter post.
The US government should protect national security at any cost, Trump added.

A week after the announcement, Trump held a working dinner with top Democrats, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, during which they discussed immigration policy. The Democratic leaders said in a joint statement released the following day that they agreed with Trump that "the path forward" regarding DACA requires a legal solution for the program’s recipients.
