Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
Vicente Fox on the wall
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox says his country will not be paying for a border wall, and that it would be a waste for America to do so. In his "Red & Blue" interview, he discusses DACA and why NAFTA decreases illegal immigration.
Trump & DACA
President Trump said Wednesday that he's open to a path to citizenship for all Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients after 10 to 12 years, if they have no criminal record. It's a stance that, if it holds, could frustrate many of the most conservative members of his party. Sean Sullivan, congressional reporter with The Washington Post, joins CBSN with more.
Trump surprise
President Trump surprised reporters Wednesday when he showed up at his chief of staff's office and held an impromptu press conference. He told a group of reporters he is "looking forward" to being interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller under oath, and said "Dreamers" should be granted a path to citizenship. CBS News' chief White House correspondent Major Garrett was there, and has details of the unexpected encounter.
Trump on Mueller, DACA
President Trump told reporters Wednesday he's open to a path to citizenship for so-called "Dreamers," and addressed a possible meeting with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reports.
Trump vs. Dems
President Trump is threatening there will be no deal on DACA, the Obama-era program that gives legal status to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, if there is no funding for a border wall. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he's taking his offer to fund the border wall off the table. Editor-in-Chief of The Hill Bob Cusack explains where the negotiations go from here.
Trump's wall & DACA fight
The Senate's top Democrat has changed his mind about paying for a wall along Mexico's border. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer offered to go along with President Trump's demand less than a week ago. Now, Schumer says the wall is off the table. Nancy Cordes reports.
Sessions and special counsel
Tuesday brought news of two major interviews in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling. McClatchy DC White House correspondent Franco Ordonez joined CBSN to discuss what Attorney General Jeff Sessions and fired FBI director James Comey's interviews with Mueller's team mean for the timeline of that probe.

Immigration reform vote
Some Democrats are facing criticism for not getting a deal to preserve DACA yet, especially since the program is about to expire. CBS News chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes reports.
Trump SOTU
President Trump is set to give his first formal State of the Union address. But what, exactly, will he say?
Durbin tells DREAMers "Don't give up"
The Senate minority whip addressed undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, telling them, "Don't give up." With the Senate's deal to end the shutdown came the commitment from the GOP majority to bring immigration and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to the floor. Durbin told DREAMers that DACA would be debated on the Senate floor for the first time in five years. "To all the DREAMers that are watching today, don't give up," he said. "I know your lives are hanging in the balance on what we do here on Capitol Hill and with the White House." He told them he hoped in three weeks to be celebrating with them the passage of "a measure which will strengthen America and give you the opportunity to be part of our future."
Speaker Paul Ryan on DACA

Government shutdown talks
National political reporter for Politico, Gabriel Debenedetti, joins "CBS This Morning: Saturday" to discuss what we can expect from the Senate when they reconvene Saturday afternoon, why DACA offers Democrats so much leverage in the negotiations and which Senators did not vote along party lines.
Shutdown implications
CBS News contributor and congressional reporter for the Washington Post, Ed O'Keefe, joins "CBS This Morning: Saturday" to discuss the government shutdown, confusion over President Trump's hard line when it comes to striking a deal with Democrats, and the larger implications for the Democratic and Republican parties.
W.H. reacts to shutdown
President Trump is calling Friday night's Senate vote and the government shutdown a political gift. He tweeted that the shutdown is a "nice present" from Democrats on the anniversary of his inauguration. Major Garrett reports.
Government shutdown
The government stopped operating Friday night, halting all but essential services, after the Senate came 10 votes short of reaching a temporary last-minute funding deal. The president is placing the blame on Senate Democrats who were holding out for a comprehensive bill and a deal to protect DACA recipients. Nancy Cordes reports.
DACA Supreme Court appeal
The Department of Justice is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the Trump administration's effort to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for young undocumented immigrants. CBS News justice reporter Paula Reid breaks down the case on CBSN.
Sen. Gardner on gov't shutdown
Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, joins "CBS This Morning" from Capitol Hill to discuss the deadlock between Republicans and Democrats over a government funding bill, why he believes it's "ridiculous" to shut down the government over a DACA solution, and what he hopes will happen before the Friday night deadline.
Government shutdown showdown
The Senate has less than a day to avoid a government shutdown. There is no sign of a deal as talks come down to the wire. The House voted Thursday night to fund the government for another four weeks, but Senate Democrats don't want that deal. They're holding out for an extension of the DACA program. Nancy Cordes reports.

CBS News elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto joins CBSN to break down the poll numbers.
Government shutdown looms
A looming government shutdown is sharpening the debate over immigration and the DACA program. A CBS News poll out Thursday shows most Americans would let young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children stay in the U.S. Nancy Cordes reports.
