According to The Federalist Papers, The President offered a deal to extend DACA and TPS in exchange for funding for the border wall.
Not even affording The President enough respect to respond following his speech, Pelosi responded just prior and not only did she say no; she indicated that Democrats would not make any deal.
“Unfortunately, initial reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives,” she said.
“For one thing, this proposal does not include the permanent solution for the Dreamers and TPS recipients that our country needs and supports,” she said.
Pelosi’s comments did not fair well on twitter: Kambree Kawahine Koa called it the “#PelosiShutdown.”
Pelosi rejected DACA.
This just became the #PelosiShutdown

Ryan Fournier noted, there were “crickets” coming from Democrats after a very fair offer..
Democrats: “We’re willing to make a deal.”
President Trump offers a reasonable deal.
Democrats: *crickets*

Here’s Pelosi’s Statement:
Democrats were hopeful that @realDonaldTrump was finally willing to re-open government & proceed with a much-needed discussion to protect the border. Unfortunately, reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of previously rejected initiatives. https://t.co/MFwebWSevG pic.twitter.com/yMTm4iP27h

Jim Hanson Noted after her response that “If they turn this down, they own the shutdown.”
.@realDonaldTrump will offer the Dems #DACA for the Wall
If they turn this down
They own the shutdownhttps://t.co/SaObpsRqpE— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) January 19, 2019
Others agreed:
The BEST @realDonaldTrump has done in these formal staged settings. If Democrats reject this, THEY own the shutdown.

Scott Presler noted how awful the Democrats look for not taking the deal.
President Trump just set up Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer.
He spoke of drugs, sex trafficking, & Americans murdered by criminal illegal aliens.
He offered DACA & TPS on a silver platter.
They won't take the deal & it makes the democrats look awful. #TrumpSpeech

He also noted Trump’s very high level of support from the Hispanic community and how Democrats burned a bridge with a serious voting base should they continue to reject the deal.
President Trump could offer the democrats everything they want & Pelosi still wouldn't give Trump $ for the wall.
With Hispanic support for Trump surging, it will continue to rise when democrats turn their backs on a possible DACA deal.

Former (R) Gov. Mike Huckabee touched on the same topic:
We'll soon know if Pelosi, Chuck and the Dems really care about Dreamers and Gov't workers or not. @realDonaldTrump has offered MORE than they had even asked for. If they say "no," they reveal it's not about shutdown, but showdown. It's time to either poop or get off the pot!
