But he reiterated that he would not approve any deal with congressional leaders without his signature border wall or restrictions on legal immigration. “I’d love not to build the wall, but you need the wall,” he told reporters at the White House. “If you don’t have the wall, you can’t have security.” Trump’s meeting with about 25 members of Congress on Tuesday was part of negotiations over how to protect young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children ― nearly 700,000 of whom the president put at risk of losing deportation relief when he ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in September. Tuesday’s meeting is unlikely to produce a quick compromise. It included members of a bipartisan group working on protections for Dreamers, but also Republican lawmakers who have put more of a priority on slashing legal immigration.
