this week the Senate will vote on the proposal, which president Donald Trump put forward to create a consensus between the Republicans and the Democrats.
It says the republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, according to the news agency Reuters.
the Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on a budget for 2019, which has led to a partial shutdown of the country’s state apparatus.
McConnell calls on its political opponents among the Democrats to support the proposal, then the entire state apparatus may again be opened.
Trump presented his proposal on Saturday evening Danish time. Here he offered a temporary protection of the so-called “dreamers” as opposed to 5.7 billion u.s. dollars, which should be used to build a wall along the border with Mexico.
Dreamers is the name for young people who have been brought illegally to the country as minors by their families.
the President will offer three-year exemption from deportation to some of the young people, which meets a number of requirements, among other things, is about education.
in Addition, the president also several border guards and judges for matters of migration.
the Republicans have a majority in the Senate, which is one of the two chambers of Congress. In the second chamber, the House of Representatives, on the other hand, Democrats have the majority.
Nancy Pelosi, who is chairman of the House of Representatives, says that the Trumps bid does not set the pace of negotiations.
on Tuesday announces she according to the news agency AP that Trump will have to re-open the state apparatus, before she will negotiate border security.
the Same message sounds on Tuesday night from the Democrats in the Senate who do not want to enter into negotiations with the president, so long as he uses the closure of the state apparatus as a forhandlingsbrik.
– the President must set the hostages free, says democratic senator Chris Van Hollen, who is part of a bipartisan group of senators, who are currently negotiating with The White House, the political media Politico.
– We would like to discuss border security and reforms of the immigrationssystemet. We can negotiate a separate plan that addresses the problems. But we will not reward the president to keep the government closed, he says.
the Democratic leadership has presented their own proposal for a compromise, which reopens the government and funds a range of actions to increase security at the border.
But there is no money for a grænsemur. And it comes not there, reads the message from a united party.
A quarter of the state apparatus has been closed since 22. december. The shutdown has on Wednesday lasted 33 days and is thus the longest in AMERICA’s history.
