Democrats Demand Immigration Vote as US Government Shutdown Looms
 
https://www.voanews.com/a/democrats-...s/4150548.html

With the days counting down to a government shutdown, Democrats are mostly united in pressing for a DACA fix. Republicans, on the other hand, are showing divisions.

The House Republican letter urging prompt congressional action on DACA by year’s end was rejected by several other members of the caucus, including Bradley Byrne of Alabama.

“DACA is not going to be a part of this. We made that very clear,” Byrne told reporters. “We will deal with DACA in the first part of the year. I think there will be enough votes. It’s a funding bill, not a DACA bill.”

Democrats took note of the chaos and uncertainty on Capitol Hill.

“They [Republicans] are in turmoil,” said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland. “It’s been a standard operating procedure for them.”

Tip for Dems negotiating Dream Act with Trump at the White House tomorrow: Mitch McConnell just made promises to his own caucus on taxes he can't deliver. And Trump has already reneged once on this. You have leverage this Friday on CR. Use it. #DreamActNow

GOP made a huge 300+ billion dollar mistake on their tax bill. Will need to go to conference and be worked on.
