Graham, a Republican, told reporters after meeting Trump for lunch at the White House that Trump was receptive to Graham's idea of a deal that might provide work permits to so-called Dreamers, people brought illegally to the United States as children, in exchange for money for physical border barriers. "The president was upbeat, he was in a very good mood, and I think he's receptive to making a deal," Graham said, adding that Trump found the potential Dreamer concession "interesting." But the senator said there would never be a government spending deal that did not include money for a wall or other physical barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border.
