The deal: https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/25/politics/white-house-immigration-framework/index.html
Trump has offered to give a path to citizenship for the 700,000 DACA recipients as well others that qualify and didn't register, for a total of 1.8M people. In return, he will get $25B for the wall and technology to support the wall, more money for border patrol personnel, a switch to merit-based immigration, an end to chain migration beyond spouses and minor children, and an end to legal loopholes that will allow the USA to deport illegal immigrants from countries that do not border the USA.
This bill is expected to pass the Senate, a similar bill is expected to pass the House, and then a conference will be needed to mesh the two bills together, according to CNN. Because this is built into a budget bill, Congress needs 60% approval instead of the normal majority approval.
