I’ve been fighting for Dreamers for 17 years and will never abandon them. We could pass the Dream Act today if you simply called on the Republicans who control Congress to support it. Let’s be honest, President Trump’s plan is to ransom these young Dreamers in exchange for his entire anti-immigrant agenda. Reducing legal immigration by more than 40 percent by barring Americans from sponsoring their parents, siblings and children as immigrants. Fast-tracking deportations of Central American women and children fleeing gang and sexual violence. Dramatically cutting the number of immigrants from African countries that he hatefully disparaged. Yesterday the Senate rejected the President’s immigration plan by a bipartisan supermajority. Democrats and a handful of courageous Republicans tried to free the Dreamers by paying that $25 billion ransom for Trump’s infamous border wall. But he rejected that offer. The American people can now see the President’s agenda for what it is, and it’s not protecting Dreamers. Trump got called out by Durbin! :O and he is right in many points.... |

This is the twilight zone of immigration policy. One party wants to deport and maybe offer to help in exchange for something. The other party wants to help but is not using its leverage when it needs to in order to make the other party come more to the middle.
I agree, the Democrats are the lesser of two evils, but for fucks sake, this is unacceptable. Do they plan to use leverage by March 23rd? I hope so. But, maybe not. This is so frustrating; if you want a more "liberal" agreement, use your fucking leverage. If you do not, then you will have Trump making all these fucking demands that you will not like. By then, you make yourself look bad as a spineless bitch and you leave us out in the dark. By then, you have to vote no.
JUST USE YOUR FUCKING LEVERAGE DURBIN. For fucks sake.

Why didn't they hold on to that fucking leverage until getting a bipartisan agreement that they could vote on and Trump could ratify?

Trump tried to screw them over hard too. Trump knew Democrats were now weakened and tried to milk the shit out of them. I can see why the Democrats voted no, but they could have prevented all of this by simply using their leverage. Until that happens, I doubt we can get anything.
I am ok with a DACA patch if that's all we can get. I know congress would be ok with that. I really doubt Trump is ok with that. He stated about two days ago that it was either his plan or the highway. He particularly shutdown the idea of a DACA extension. In a way, Trump wants to prevent the Democrats from using us for the election and get credit for some immigration reforms.
Points is...Democrats must use their leverage, or you can very likely expect nothing until we get a new presidential administration.

I don't know. Either the Democrats use their leverage, or Trump backs off some of his demands.
Here is hoping.
