Democrats reject United States President Donald Trump's offer for temporary migrant protection

Democrats rejected United States President Donald Trump's offer to provide temporary protection to migrants.

Rejecting proposal that includes millions of dollars for humanitarian aid and drug detection techlogy, Democrats called on Trump to reopen government before negotiations on immigration could begin, reported CNN.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been negotiating reopening of government along with Senate Mirity Leer Chuck Schumer, said that it was "a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do t represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people's lives."

Calling provisions for migrants a 'n-starter', Pelosi said in a statement, "It is unlikely that any one of se provisions alone would pass House, and taken toger, y are a n-starter. For one thing, this proposal does t include permanent solution for Dreamers and TPS recipients that our country needs and supports."

Schumer stated that Trump's offer was t really an offer at all.

Referring to move as 'host taking', Schumer, in a statement said, "It was President who single-handedly took away DACA and TPS protections in first place -- offering some protections back in exchange for wall is t a compromise but more host taking."

On January 19, Trump outlined his plans in a bid to end nearly month-long partial government shutdown by offering temporary protections for undocumented migrants in exchange for funding for his proposed border wall on US-Mexico border.

In a televised speech from White House, Trump hinted at extending protections for roughly 700,000 'Dreamers', children of illegal migrants brought into US, under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programme for three years.

He floated a three-year extension of protections for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders in exchange for 5.7 billion USD funding for wall, Hill reported.

TPS is a system where people, whose families have been affected by war or disasters and are allowed to live and work in US. Interestingly, Trump has been vocal against TPS and DACA programmes, asserting that n-Americans were "taking away" potential jobs from Americans.

shutdown, that has w entered its 29th day, was triggered on December 22 last year by a lack of consensus between Democratic lawmakers and US President on USD 5.7 billion funding for wall on border with Mexico, which was one of Trump's electoral promises.

ongoing partial government shutdown is longest in history of US.

Roughly a quarter of government is closed and an estimated 800,000 federal workers have been versely affected by lapse in funding, who are eir furloughed or working without any pay.
