As Kushner reaches out to Congress on shutdown, 'DACA for the wall' deal gains steam

As the government shutdown drags on, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner is having discussions with members of Congress from both sides of the aisle about a potential path forward. A Republican Senate staffer confirmed Kushner reached out to their office and added that a “DACA for the wall” deal was part of the conversation.

Looking good

Now is their opportunity to seize straight up citizenship for us. POTUS is desperate.

This could be a huge win for both Democrats and Republicans.

@ChadPergram
Graham trying to craft a deal on opening gov’t & possible immigration/DACA arrangement. But Hse conservatives/Freedom Caucus likely won’t like it. Could be a problem for ldrs like McCarthy/Scalise

Jeez not like the house is majority democratic and opinion of McCarthy shouldn't fucking matter at all.

Freedom caucus havent yet realized they are irrelevant now

PR or Bust

Well they are relevant as long as GOP listens to them.

The problem now however is that Pelosi is the one putting stuff for votes. Only way around her authority would be a discharge petition which would take every single republican currently seated (199) and then 19 democrats.

Back when republicans held 236 seats then yes, those 33 freedom caucus members actually needed to consent to pass stuff along party lines.

The thing is that they were able to control the house from the backseat for 8 years and it might be a shock for them that their votes aren't worth jackshit anymore. If the Progressive Caucus starts making problems for Pelosi then she might reach across the isle into the Tuesday Group but she sure as shit will never court the Freedom Caucus.
