Congress barreling toward explosive immigration fight
 
Quote:
But a number of Republicans, moderates and conservatives alike, want to move more quickly.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), one of 10 Republicans Ryan appointed to a task force charged with crafting a DACA fix, said the threat to DACA-eligible residents is growing by the day, particularly for those who are falling out of the program without the option to re-enroll.

“There’s a lot of other things I want to do dealing with that subject matter, but the urgency is dealing with these DACA individuals whose lives are about to be just destroyed if we don’t do something soon,” Diaz-Balart said. “That deadline is the legal deadline for when [DACA] expires, but the consequences have started happening already.”

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), another member of the Republicans’ DACA task force, said a vote this year “would be the ideal scenario.” And Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), chairman of the Rules Committee, said he also favors action next month.

“We’ve got to get it done because we said we would,” Session said. “I’ve never been one to wait.”

If the Democrats have any say — and they likely will — Ryan and the Republicans may not have a choice.

“That deadline is the legal deadline for when [DACA] expires, but the consequences have started happening already.”

Exactly. Dumb ass Ryan wanting to leave the issue until later on because DACA doesn't expire until March. By then it would be way too late for a lot of people!

Democrats hold the line; honor your word; and call the Repubs bluff by attaching Dream Act to the spendung bill.

Anyone seen anything from Dem leadership lately? As of next week, there will be 10 legislative days left. As of next week, Democrats need to make it clear to Republicans: They will vote for the spending bill only with DreamAct, CHIP, no interior break up of families.
