Washington (CNN) Members of both political parties are emphasizing a need for compromise on immigration negotiations, amid pressure to reach a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The calls for compromise follow the White House's proposed immigration framework, which would give 1.8 million undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship. In exchange, the White House wants $25 billion for border infrastructure and technology, more funds for personnel, and an end to family migration beyond spouses and minor children. "But I think the President is also right about border security, that we do need to beef up our border security." Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, a member of the coalition, called the White House framework a "breakthrough" and a "credible proposal."
