Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters Friday that Democrats are prepared to allow the government to shut down if Republicans do not accede to a list of Democratic demands, including legislation that protects Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients.

Pelosi said Democrats would be willing to allow the government to shut down if the bill doesn’t include their list of priorities, which she said Democrats made clear with GOP leaders during negotiations.

I’m not sure if this was before or after the wh meeting.

"...told reporters Friday..."

Sounds like last Friday. So way before the WH meeting.

Looks like the fucked up stating the correct day.

Pelosi is incompetent and needs to go as Dem min leader.

might be far right trying to mislead their base to be mad to dems

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

F liberals.

Who is voting independent when they become legal?

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

we need to be citizens first... and that prolly wont happen 15-20 years from now.

by then the Republican and Democratic parties may be completely different or gone.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

Not me. For as long as I have any mental ability and the right to vote I will vote against conservatives. I will never forget or forgive conservatives about how they treat us.

Do you hate Curbelo and the 30 Republicans who signed that letter?

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

You mean Dems. Democrats are not liberals.

Vote progressive!

Support the Sanders and Jayapals in your states!!!

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

What's good about progressive policies sir?

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

Vote moderate because these people get shit done. Both sides can be stubborn as fuck and contribute to gridlock in this type of congressional makeup.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

This guy gets it. Hand of applause sir and I don't mean that sarcastically.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

I'm a she!! I purposely write in a neutral voice and ppl assume I am guy...geez.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

i dont mind trying out progressive policies in the next cycle

we've gone far right, why not try the other side and be like other progressive countries such as scandanavian countries who provide healthcare, education, etc as a right to their ppl.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

Oh. My bad girl. You're a woman - that makes sense now, why you're a progressive.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

Proudly so.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

I see your point. A lot of people use this country as a model. When I was a young progressive with aspirations of world socialism, I did the same.

Unfortunately for Sweden, you're starting to see some of the backlash from the migration that has occurred in the last few years. Don't be surprised if there is a strong swing to the right in the near future.

Progressivism has it's heart in the right place; however, it does not take into account the flaws in human nature.

You are already seeing an uprise in right wing politics due to lax policies in Europe, regarding migration. I don't agree with the neo-nazis, but I understand why people are fighting, figuratively speaking, hard to maintain and preserve their culture.

Let me guess, you are single?

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

That's incredibly irrelevant. Stay on topic.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

Completely on topic sir, the question ties in to what I was going to ask her.


The DAP community; however, would like to thank you for your efforts in enforcing the rules.

Re: Pelosi: Democrats are prepared to shut down the government over DACA
 

The house is irrelevant. Senate is the key at this point

Another troll.

I thought we were photography buddies. Man I’m disappointed in you.

Grassley has previously said that both sides need to compromise on the issue and he said Tuesday that he has made clear to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., that “everything’s negotiable” on the issue.

“He and I started out at extreme positions on criminal justice reform, and we reached an agreement that got a 15-5 vote in the committee a year ago,” Grassley said of Durbin. “And we can do that again on this issue as well, but he’s got to be willing to sit down and negotiate.”

I don't know man... Clearly conservative Republicans are the ones in power and clearly they don't want to pass the Dream Act or any other immigration law that doesn't make us criminals and yet, you're blaming liberals. That does not compute.
