(STREAM) Graham, Durbin Press Conference on DACA, Dream Act - Page 6

How many republican votes do we need in the house for it to pass?

I don't have the exact numbers but I think a minority (~50 i think)

Assuming all Democrats vote yes

There's a bunch of articles on DACA on r/politics today.

Less than 30

There are a few thing that made me hopefully. Durban wouldn't get into details means he's willing to compromise, of course e can't say "I will take the walk" now, then he wouldn't have anything to bargain with. Gram mentioned Hurley, maybe he's saying there's a chance the bills will to discuss at the same time. That one is less likely, but hopefully. It's good that the deadline they set is September, not too far, or we know it will get lost.

More momentum. Good.

Durbin said the wall is a non-starter for negotiations. I am not too optimistic that something will pass based on this.

For any dreamer seeing this, now is the time to get out to make your voice heard, along with the voices of the many citizens who support our cause. I am personally guilty of not doing enough for myself and other DREAMERS before all this happened. However, now is the time to get up, off our asses and create the change we all desperately need.

We need to realize that our base may have to give something up in return for the BRIDGE/DREAM act. We need to find the sweet spot for this legislation to actually go through so that neither side of the aisle can blame the other if this does not pass. We need to let democratic members of the senate and house that WE ARE OK WITH HAVING COMPROMISE... I dont want to sound ignorant, but how many of us give a shit if TRUMP actually builds his wall, so long as we can continue to work legally in this country? <-- Just one of many examples out there.

Lets be smart about this, and lets get out and help create this change. Thanks all!

We need to call DURBIN and let him know, we dont give a DAMN if TRUMP builds his wall. That should be**** an easy compromise. Am I in the minority on this ? I sure hope not!

Being pessimistic about the situation won't help, especially after the shit had already hit the fan. We have to move and tell ppl what we want, Congress man, advocates and anyone who's willing to listen. I'm gonna stay hopeful bc I can't live like the lowlives, who just want us to suffer,wants us to live, that way, they fucking win. Come on ppl. Just do it.
