Even as a bipartisan group of senators announced an agreement that would provide young undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship, House Democrats are worried a final deal will concede too much to the White House on the issue of diversity visas.

House Democrats are pressuring their leadership and Senate Democrats involved in negotiations with Republicans to give no ground on eliminating the diversity visa program, which distributes 50,000 visas per year to countries where there is a low rate of immigration to the U.S. Roughly 44 percent of those participating in the program are from African countries.
