Sen. Perdue: DACA Solution Must Be Tied to Border Security

By    |   Wednesday, 24 January 2018 11:56 AM EST ET

In order to help recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, border security — such as a border wall — must be included in the deal, Sen. David Perdue said Wednesday.

"Any DACA solution has got to include border security to include a wall, an end to chain migration, and an end to this diversity lottery," the Georgia Republican told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" Wednesday, noting President Donald Trump's plans.

"He's been very clear about that from the beginning. He wants a compassionate solution to the DACA situation. He wants to give them certainty," Perdue said.

The president slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer in a late Tuesday night tweet, after it was reported the Senate minority leader had rescinded his offer to give Trump more than $1.6 billion to fund the border wall in exchange for a deal on DACA

Trump said there would be no DACA solution without a wall.
