Immigration storm bears down on Republicans
 

"Should GOP leaders somehow dodge a thorny DACA and family-separation debate this summer, Republicans are still unlikely to wriggle out of an immigration fight before the election. The federal government runs out of money on Sept. 28, and Trump has made no secret of his demand for border wall funding in any spending legislation he signs.

In fact, during a meeting with appropriators last week, Trump pressed Republicans to give him $5 billion as a down payment on his wall — well over the $1.6 billion senators had proposed and the $2.2 billion the House had planned.

But GOP leaders know that Senate Democrats will reject the request without relief for Dreamers, and Republicans can’t pass a single appropriations bill in the Senate without them."

Schumer and Pelosi already caved in once, they will cave in again

If they give Trump $5 billion without relief for Dreamers, it should be a very clear message to every DACAer that relief will not come in the near or far future.

We have to fight for our future. We are not asking for handouts, only opportunity. Start pressuring again. It will come down to a deal in the Senate appropriations again; the House Republicans are cons.

Democrats will trade the 5 billion for family seperation

This will only happen if the blue wave materializes. Forecasts of a blue wave may have been too premature. Remember that crooked, bloodthirsty clinton, arkancide champion was gonna win the presidency.

They already forgot about us. It's all about family separation now.

Dems are gonna start asking for a clean wall bill.

If Dems were smart they would shut down the gov until the nov elections. However, they won't because they are spineless corporate shills.
