The White House said Wednesday it does not support a deal that would provide temporary relief for so-called Dreamers in exchange for three years of funding for a border wall, throwing cold water on a proposal being floated on Capitol Hill.



The Washington Post reported earlier in the day that Republican officials were discussing a plan that would extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for three years in exchange for three years of border wall funding, or a so-called three-for-three plan.

White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah said the administration does not support that effort but that the president could be open to a long-term fix if it were included in a spending bill.
