@SenatorDurbin

House Judiciary Committee passed my #DreamAct, which gives #Dreamers a future in America. Dreamers are teachers, doctors, and soldiers who make our country a better place. I'll continue fighting for them and their dream of becoming U.S. citizens.

Wow look at the responses on twitter

They think DACA people don't pay taxes.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Wait so what happened?

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Progress that has happened before.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Same shit different day?

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Basically... just didn't want to TRIGGER people.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

That's a step forward, but it is a tiny step. Until it passes the Senate, this means nothing.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

I still think the best option would be to put it in a budget bill.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Even if it passes the Senate (which it won’t even get a vote) Trump still has that VETO pen. Fact is this bill isn’t going anywhere, this is all a show to score political points.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

If it's shoved into a budget bill then he'll have a hard time issuing a veto.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

It doesn't look like that's going to happen right now. The debt ceiling and budget bills are already being negotiated behind closed doors. Both parties basically want no contentious items in order to provide the most basic requirements of a government.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Like the Democrats would ever do that. In Schumer’s own words.. “We can’t let Dreamers take the entire stage”.

Going into the 2020 election immigration is not issue that anyone truly wants to fix at this point.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

I'm curious what you think democrats should do so it doesn't look like a "show" to score "political points."

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Looks like more of the same !

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

At this point they can’t do nothing. Congress is a shit show and the 2020 elections are near that neither party would truly want to compromise and fix our immigration issue.

The Republicans are doing the same thing right now crafting anti-immigration bills that won’t pass the House, however they are doing so to bring out their base and to bring the party “together”.

Both parties are working on worthless bills that have no chance of passing, however the race to the 2020 elections have started and it’s all about scoring political points now.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

I agree with you assessment that if there's legislative relief, it will most likely come after 2020 unless some unexpected thing happens like finally Trump realizing he needs the latino vote to win 2020. Trading DACA for removing visa lottery and take those visas for merit based immigration is not too bad of a deal. Might get some extra money on border security too.

I want to see what happens when the DA passes and goes to the senate. There's surprising amount of republicans that like some form of permanent DACA relief. Will they counter offer or will they just block it? At least we can see where the current senate stands on the issue. DACA is supposed to have bipartisan support, polling between 70%-80% in favor.

Sucks to be us!

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Dream Act should pass this year. This is the best chance in history.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Mitch isn't even going to bring up.. he doesn't want to risk a few GOP Sens crossing party lines.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

big if true.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Our best chance was when we were going to be traded for the wall.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

DACA needs to be killed in order to gain momentum

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

2017 September Democrats gave trump 25 billion for wall in exchange for DACA, Trump said Lets do this then a few days later backed off and wanted more

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

There is nothing to negotiate with, congress is gridlocked for DACA. We had everything republican controlled in the gov't.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Woo bridge act for fuck off we're full act.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

If you want DACA forever, be my guest. I want DACA dead AND a PERMANENT SOLUTION for all DACA (though without you I wouldn't mind).

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Bridge Act is not a permanent solution.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

And it has more strict rules. In fact all people with DACA now will not all be eligible for the bridge act.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Dead on arrival.

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Seems like people always forget this. Without TPS being included if I'm not mistaken. They did again January 2018 with TPS that time. So that's what 2 times so far?

Re: Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee
 

Basically just forget about bills they never go anywhere. Unless top tier politicians are making moves to get it passed it'll just die somewhere.

Why do I even check this site anymore lol. Need to find a bride and get on with my life.
