Senate Dems target DACA reform in lame duck - Page 3

I think we have better chances with border security for daca then asylum reform.

Dick Durban is playing us. The solution for daca has always been in the yearly appropriations/Omnibus bill. It’s the same bill that Nancy stood on the house floor for 8 hours about and the same bill the Trump said he didn’t want to sign because it didn’t include dreamers.

Durbin is offering a solution that he knows will fail. We all know it will fail. So he’s playing us and play lip service.

its gnna pass appropirations/omnibus in the house but when it gets to the senate? the senate parliamenterian already ruled 3x against including daca.

You’re referring to the reconciliation bill. That’s different from the appropriations/omnibus bill. Reconciliation allows only 51 votes and each amedement has to pass the Byrd rule which goes through the senate parliamentarian.

The Appropriations bill still requires 60 votes in the senate but because a lot of different priorities are rolled into the bill, it always passes even though the government can be shut down for a few days. Matter of fact Senate Dems shut down the government in 2018 because the appropriations bill didn’t include provisions for Dreamers.

do you really think it would be different this time around?

Dems fear a government shutdown. The party in charge is usually blamed for shutting down the government and after Schumer's shutdown over daca, they know the public does not support it. If they put it in the year end bills, the GOP will 100% force a shutdown and blame Daca for it. They would win and Daca would lose

Daca isn’t even being mentioned anymore so it Deff won’t be mentioned in gov’t shutdown negotiations
