Border melee ups ante on shutdown

Fresh off their retaking of the House majority, Democrats feel they have the leverage to block Trump's demands.

They are skeptical about any deal that would fund the border wall in exchange for helping immigrants who lost protections when Trump rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program last year.

Senate Republican leaders say the clashes at the border have underscored the importance of Trump's demands for a wall or "wall system

One proposal being floated is to attach to the year-end spending bill a version of the bipartisan House legislation sponsored by Reps. Will Hurd (R-Texas) and Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) that would protect DACA recipients from deportation in exchange for what they call "commonsense border security measures" such as enhanced technology, manpower and physical barriers where necessary at the border.

Cornyn on Monday said the idea is under discussion but has yet to be approved by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) or incoming House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

Lease BRIDGE ACT + travel. That’s a better compromises than anything else in years!!!

On ankther note: I am in support of using tear gas. They could hurt themselves more if they were in close contact with the border patrols/troop.

THIS! We need some LEGISLATION to pass and at a minimum it must have permission to travel freely. This is something I would settle for at this point. We need Congress to codify something.

Will Hurd for Man Kind! Pete Aguilar for Humanity! Get this done.

They already lost the House, might as well get something out of it while they can in exchange for something positive.

Exactly!!! Do it!!! Dreamers like me are in total support of stronger border enforcement and security! $25B was on the table! We can talk about numbers, right, Democrats!? Who else is with me!?

Kinda funny that caravan people rushing the border could help us. This world is so fucked up. At this point though, I don't care what has to happen for someone to help us.
Hope they to try to rush it again!

Damn right secure the damn Border! I don't want to be living in a country where every random person can just walk right in. The fuck does this look like..a playground?

Could that deal also include a provision that precludes Pianos from being such an annoying prick on here?

We should try to use the internet while we have a chance. Some of us agree that this might be our last chance till 2020 or god knows when.
If we all use a hastag to make it viral among trump supporters sending a subtle message "To get the wall done doesnt matter the price or whatever it takes to build it."
It might help a tiny bit with the backlash and encourage them to come with an agreement. Even if it helps a little or fails to become viral we should try.
