GOP leaders in House, Senate endorse conflicting shutdown strategies
 
Quote:
There has been some progress on the immigration front, aides say. A bipartisan group of seven senators met multiple times last week to try and hammer out an immigration deal that combines legislation for Dreamers — hundreds of thousands of whom are losing their temporary work permits and deportation protections due to actions by Trump — with other immigration enforcement measures.

The group includes Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Michael Bennet of Colorado, and GOP Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. They want to be able to strike a deal on immigration they can subsequently present to their leadership.

It's unclear, however, whether Democrats will go along with pushing major issues into next year, upping the pressure on Republicans to come up with a funding proposal that can avert a shutdown.

So are those republicans trying to tie that solution to a spending bill or pass this seperately???

Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi of California and Chuck Schumer of New York appear to have backed off immigration demands they initially wanted addressed by the new year, but they're still adamant that any boosts in defense money be matched by increases in domestic spending.

They predict another short-term funding bill, leaving a broader spending and immigration agreement until January.

If this is still the case, fuck democrats

The term “ later “ in Congress often means “ never “
They can’t keep kicking the can down the road .

Where you read that?

I seriously feel like its quite possibly there is a deal because Schumer and Pelosi have been very tight lipped since coming out of the last meeting! I just refuse to believe that they will sell us down the river like that. They've been adamant on a deal this year for us.
