NEW: Trump is expected to offer temporary protections for Dreamers and TPS holders for his wall.
Expect Democrats to reject it. An aide says they’ve rebuffed similar overtures in the past and don’t view this as a serious offer.

FYI, in March 2018 the White House/GOP offered a similar deal: 2.5-year DACA protection for wall money.
Dems wanted a path to citizenship so Dreamers aren’t deportable in a few years; White House said no and negotiations broke down.

The red lines here are simple:
Dems don’t care for a temporary DACA fix that consigns Dreamers to potential deportation in a few yrs.
Trump opposes a path to citizenship for Dreamers without steep legal immigration cuts.
Ds oppose those legal imm cuts.

#2 Democrat @SenatorDurbin says no to wall funding for temporary DACA + TPS protections. 
New: @SpeakerPelosi rejects Trump’s reported proposal to re-open the government ahead of his speech, and describes the border security ideas Democrats support.
Some pushback from the right on Trump’s reported offer, via @JessicaV_CIS of CIS, who calls it “amnesty” and an “embarrassing surrender” for the president.
