Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer issued this joint statement following dinner with President Trump:
"President Trump's Tweets are not inconsistent with the agreement reached last night. As we said last night, there was no final deal, but there was agreement on the following:
"We agreed that the President would support enshrining DACA protections into law, and encourage the House and Senate to act.

While both sides agreed that the wall would not be any part of this agreement, the President made clear he intends to pursue it at a later time, and we made clear we would continue to oppose it.

Three months ago Speaker Ryan gave his first ‘major’ tax reform speech in which he lamented: “We haven’t addressed this issue since then. 1986. It’s the year I got my driver’s license. This is the last time we addressed our tax system.”
You’d think with all that time to ponder the issue, Speaker Ryan and House Republican leaders would be farther along on an actual plan than they are now … which is nowhere. And ahead of Speaker Ryan’s AP Newsmakers interview, we’re not holding our breath for a solution.
