Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer said they also agreed to work on a border security package that would exclude President Trump's proposed wall with Mexico.
However, the White House denied the wall had been excluded from proposals. President Trump scrapped the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA, programme earlier this month.
According to reports, The Obama-era Daca scheme was put in place to protect so-called "Dreamers", migrants brought to the US illegally as children, from deportation.
The measures, which protect some 800,000 people in the US, also provide temporary permits for work and study.
RizeFM recalls that President Trump announced on the 4th of September that he would cancel the scheme, while giving Congress six months to enact a replacement plan for Daca recipients.
