Top lawmakers in Congress aren’t negotiating a deal to reform the nation’s asylum laws despite President Trump’s demand that they work out an accord after he agreed to delay the mass deportation of illegal immigrants for two weeks.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who had urged the president to postpone the deportations, told the Washington Examiner the additional time won’t be used for working out a deal with Republicans, but rather it will provide activists and the religious community more time to speak out against the deportations.

Congress won’t be working on reforming any asylum laws, she said.

“That was the president’s announcement,” Pelosi told the Washington Examiner.

“We are just happy that we don’t have the raids this past weekend. Now, the people of faith can speak out about the dignity of people and how they should be respected and that families must stay together and immigrants have rights.”

Trump on Friday pulled back plans to have Immigration and Customs Enforcement begin rounding up thousands of illegal immigrants across 10 cities, with an emphasis on sending back those who pose security or safety risks.

Pelosi called Trump Friday and urged him to call off the deportations.

“At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border,” he tweeted.

Trump, along with most Republicans, wants to change the nation’s asylum laws, which they believe are making it easy for anyone to use the laws to gain entry into the United States.

More than 100,000 illegal immigrants have been apprehended along the southern border each of the past three months and many are claiming asylum.

But Pelosi signaled no plans to negotiate a last-minute deal to change those laws without passing a complete overhaul of immigration laws, including a pathway to citizenship for the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants.

“We want comprehensive immigration reform,” Pelosi told the Washington Examiner. “We’ve always said that.”

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told the Washington Examiner House Judiciary Committee Chairman Doug Collins, R-Ga., introduced legislation to tighten asylum laws.

He’s not negotiating on anything new with Democrats, despite Trump’s urging.

“We have a bill here already that could fix the loopholes,” McCarthy said.

He told the Washington Examiner the Democrats are not even willing to vote for money to aid migrants along the border.

“They know this is a crisis,” McCarthy said.

The two parties are set to clash this week over humanitarian aid to help with the illegal immigrant surge on the border.

The House will vote on legislation that provides billions in humanitarian aid but cuts out millions in extra money for ICE and adds requirements for the treatment of immigrants.

The Senate will pass a similar bill, backed by at least some Democrats.

It includes money to pay ICE agents for overtime work and it excludes the language governing services and standards of treatment for illegal immigrants.

The two chambers will have to reconcile their differences to pass a final bill.

McCarthy said House Republicans would back the Senate bill, but not the House bill.

Trump’s two-week demand was met with skepticism from Republicans and Democrats alike, who have struggled for more than a decade to come up with even a narrow immigration reform proposal both parties can agree on.

“Two weeks is a very short period of time to put together a piece of legislation that would get Republicans and Democrats to come together on a comprehensive solution to our immigration challenges,” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told the Washington Examiner.
