President Trump is locked in a feud with House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over border wall funding.
Democrats say there is no crisis with open borders.
Axios reported on Saturday that President Trump will offer DACA protections in exchange for $5.7 billion for a border wall.
President Trump plans to use remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room on Saturday afternoon to propose a notable immigration compromise, according to sources familiar with the speech.
The offer is expected to include Trump’s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act — which would extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge.

The announcement is planned at 3 PM today.
