Trump, Democrats restart talks to avert shutdown
 
Quote:

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) quietly began working with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) several weeks ago in a new "gang" to craft Dreamer legislation that could pick up 60 votes, according to a Flake spokesman. Flake and Bennet worked together nearly five years ago to write the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform measure. Aides declined to name all the senators who are involved, although Democratic officials said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois is also engaged in the talks.


Quote:

House GOP leaders believe they can secure enough votes from Republicans alone to clear this week’s stopgap bill without making concessions to Democrats. But some conservatives have scoffed at the idea of punting until Dec. 22, which they fear will lead to a rash of spending before Christmas.

For now, key conservative groups like the House Freedom Caucus and the Republican Study Committee are holding their fire.

“It’s still up in the air,” one House GOP staffer said about whether Republicans will back the two-week continuing resolution. “It’s like a Kabuki dance in slow motion.”
Defense hawks have also balked at the idea of a stopgap bill through the end of January, warning of budgetary uncertainty for the Pentagon.


With that in mind, some House Republicans are pushing a strategy that would include a full year’s worth of funding for the Defense Department on one of the stopgap bills this month.
Quote:

“I don’t think there’s an appetite among… defense hawks in Congress for a long-term CR going into the next year,” Gallagher, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said at the Reagan National Defense Forum on Saturday.

Could Flake have convinced The Admin to take up his version of DA?

Someone please find Flake's version now

As long as it does not leave actual childhood arrivals out, that is the principle of DreamAct.

My oldest brother came here at the age of 16. Hopefully it is 18 so more people get in it
