Democrats insist their is a DACA deal

Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer says there is a deal, all that needs to be worked out for DACA recipients is the details.

DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals - a program to allow children bought to the U.S. without proper immigration papers to earn work and study permits.

Conservatives are furious that President Trump suggested he'd crafted a deal with the rival Democrats, with some saying none of his political promises are credible.

Chuck Schumer confirmed the deal on floor of the U.S. Senate
