This immigration advocate believes Trump wants to make everybody happy on DACA
 

“President Trump wants to find a solution that makes everybody happy.”

Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, believes the president who rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy wants to do right by the children brought to this country by their undocumented immigrant parents — a belief that will be put to the test as Congress grapples with a continuing budget resolution that expires on Dec. 8. Democrats have said a solution to DACA must be part of any funding bill.

“The upside of attaching something as controversial as immigration legislation to a must-pass piece of legislation, such as the funding bill, means that there is a high incentive on the part of both parties to find the compromise,” Noorani told me in the latest episode of “Cape Up.” That’s because everyone knows that House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will need Democratic votes to get a funding bill passed. “They’re going to depend on a high number of Democratic votes to get that funding bill across the finish line,” Noorani continued. “Democrats can apply pressure [on] Republican leadership to say, ‘You want my vote? I want protection for dreamers.’ ”

Even if Democrats don’t succeed in this effort, there is still time to do something. “We’ve got a few months to work with,” Noorani said. But he acknowledged, “The environment is going to get harder and harder for Republicans to reach a compromise with Democrats in the new year.”

This hack does not speak for the immigrant community. He was against "piecemeal" legislation, aka, step by step CIR. Fuck him

No, there is no more time.

Stay out of our business and stop making $$ out of our struggle.

@WaPost needs to interview those whose lives are on the line: immigrants.

Of the thousands of advocates who are actually sacrificing time and $$ to go to DC or to stop deportations, they can only seem to find the usual paid shills: Frank Sharry, this one Noorani, UWD and Hincapie frim NILC.

Use the voice of those whose stories you write about.

Problem with piecemeal approach is that republicans will gladly take what you give them and then not hold their end of the bargain. This is kinda why democrats have taken a very far left position, people like Grassley won't vote yes no matter what you give them so any negotiations with them serve zero purpose.

If Dream Act doesn't pass this month expect us to get screwed over next year.

I'm leaning it's finally going to pass.

We cannot stand on the sidelines though. Take action, call your Representatives!! It's do or die time

Re: This immigration advocate believes Trump wants to make everybody happy on DACA
 

I'm keeping up with a positive attitude as well. I do hope it's the DREAM act. If not, I hope something that I will qualify for. But if not, I will be happy for you DACA recipients ^_^

This. It's amazing that many people can't understand how much (most) Repubes hate us and are against doing anything for us.

Noorani who??
Whatever this person believes has no weight.

Worse thing is assuming that someone with Alzheimer's Disease can form a proper policy view. Watch a video of Trump speaking from like 70s or 80s. He was always a dickhead but at least he was coherent instead of this "Agree with last person seen" dementia we have now.
