2.) 50 Democrats Yay for Dream Act
3 Republicans Yay for Dream Act

5 Democrats Nay for Dream Act
36 Republican Nay for Dream Act

Who failed you? Republicans continue to say how great we are, and how we deserve a chance. That vote count sure does not show it.

3.) A republican President and a Republican Congress would give you a good deal on DACA? All pillars in exchange for DACA: does that sound fair? It's better that no deal was made.

Both sides suck. This situation sucks.
