President Donald Trump is offering a three-year extension to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, but one of its recipients is urging Democrats to reject the deal. Trump is placing the proposal on the table as a bargaining chip to end the partial federal government shutdown, which was caused in part by his demands for more than $5 billion to build a border wall. But Belen Sisa, a Dreamer who spoke with CNN on Sunday, said it was the wrong solution. “I think they should absolutely not take this deal and the reason why is because right now DACA is still in place,” she told the network’s Ana Cabrera. “Courts are upholding and protecting the program that President Obama passed and we will continue to fight but we will not do it at the expense of others.”
