Re: Dems unveil immigration plan B

That is what I was thinking, too. DACA recipients despite having no legal status are allowed to work, travel, and buy houses, etc. due to having work permits. So, the parliamentarian’s argument falls...

Re: Democrats blocked from including immigration reform in spending bill

Honestly, my head expected the depressing news, but my heart was still hopeful.

I should stop commenting here. There is someone who says he will work to elect GOP candidates... I don't know what...

Re: Democrats blocked from including immigration reform in spending bill

They will attempt to appeal to the parliamentarian again with probably smaller legalization numbers, but I am pessimistic about their success in convincing her. Her statement was not about how big...

Re: “In Wait and See Territory” - Parliamentarian’s Decision May Come As Early As Tod

LOL

Well… I still thought I would post it because I know a lot of people are nervously waiting for any news.
But, no news is also news in this case.

“In Wait and See Territory” - Parliamentarian’s Decision May Come As Early As Today

https://twitter.com/PabloReports/status/1438947648418029569

A reporter tweeted these. A Democratic aide told him the decision may come as early as today, but it may not.
It is almost the end of...

Re: Fox News: Senate awaits ruling on Dem plan to pass immigration in reconciliation

Re: Parliamentarian asking for another round of discussion and debate

Well… He said Congress… “especially under Democrats” is not going to pass DREAM Act. That makes it sound like a Republican Congress is more likely to pass it. I actually don’t get it. What would...

Re: Parliamentarian asking for another round of discussion and debate

You must be under the delusion that a Republican Congress would pass the DREAM ACT, then?

What would they specifically lose?

Re: Dems bet their political chips on party-line immigration reform

Well.. no matter what Democrats do, they will cry "amnesty" even if it is just legal status without a pathway to citizenship or green cards. Also, at this point, Republicans' position on this is...

Re: Dems to make the case for immigration reform in $3.5T spending bill

Re: Dems to make the case for immigration reform in $3.5T spending bill

Re: Dems to make the case for immigration reform in $3.5T spending bill

Excuses? That is reality. They simply are not going to over-rule her or fire her... at least over this provision. Just being mad at them, yelling at them, and telling them to do the most extreme...

Re: Dems to make the case for immigration reform in $3.5T spending bill

The Democrats can technically overrule her and/or fire her. But, they won't do that... especially with such a slim majority. It would just invite all sorts of political attacks from Republicans and...

It is not about whether she is doing the right thing or not. It is just that she is right about the current situation. There are far more Democratic Representatives that would not vote this month.

Re: Lindsey Graham comes out against DACA in infrastructure bill

As you said, I wish Biden and the Democrats played hardball and did as much as they could.
To be fair, they did improve over the years (compared to the past). Biden may say "bipartisanship", but he...

Re: Lindsey Graham comes out against DACA in infrastructure bill

Yes. Believe it or not. The Obama years were a bit better. Back then, the Democrats were less savvy and had less urgency. Immigration, particularly DREAM Act, was not a big priority. So, it got...

Re: Lindsey Graham comes out against DACA in infrastructure bill

Bipartisanship is dead in the Republican Party in this current environment. Lindsey Graham's comment means nothing.

Re: Durbin: 'I think I'm close' to getting votes needed for DREAM Act

Durbin is being an optimistic politician. But, he also knows a lot of things we do not know.

Re: Durbin, Graham teaming up on immigration bill

So, he will not support the DREAM Act if the negotiation fails and the Democrats try to pass the DREAM Act alone.
