The Trump administration has been in talks with senators about legislation that could create new categories of temporary worker visas, or lengthen the allotted stays for those workers, among other possible changes
The White House can't get its broad immigration proposal moving, so officials are pursuing a narrow deal that would please the business community but might go against the president's campaign promise to reduce overall immigration.
The recent talks began after the House passed a bill focused on changes to the agricultural guest worker program, introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren , who served as one of the HouseThe guest worker negotiations are separate from ongoing, more expansive talks about a 600-page draft bill that would grant permanent status to more high-skilled, well-educated immigrants while reducing the number for those who enter the U.S. based on family ties.
Immigrant advocates say the administration is not sincere in its efforts to expand guest worker visas or to provide permanent legal status for Dreamers.Trump campaigned on ending the Obama-era program that gave temporary protections to Dreamers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. In 2017, he tried to make good on his promise to halt the 5-year-old program. But two federal courts ordered him to keep it going until the Supreme Court weighed in, and it is likely to do so this summer.
