Former Democratic President Barack Obama\u2019s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program extended legal protections to about 700,000 of them, shielding them from being deported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIt would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address DACA, border security and related issues,\u201d McConnell said, adding: \u201cIt is also my intention take up legislation on increased defense spending, disaster relief and other important matters\u201d then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">It was unclear whether there would be enough Democratic votes on Monday to advance a temporary spending bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Funding for federal agencies ran out at midnight on Friday amid an impasse between President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans and Democrats over DACA and other immigration issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Democrats want Trump, who last year ordered an end to DACA in March, to live up to an earlier agreement to protect the Dreamers.
