Listen: Gutiérrez says DACA fix may not come until 2018

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), a leading advocate in the House for passing a bipartisan solution this year for expiring immigration protections, says action in Congress may have to wait until 2018.

If Republicans muster enough votes in their conference next week to clear a must-pass spending measure, Democrats’ efforts to achieve a legislative remedy for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will slide into next year, Gutiérrez told The Hill.

“There are 240 Republicans in charge of the House, and a majority of the Senate, and they control the White House. They’re in charge,” Gutiérrez said during an interview for The Hill’s “Power Politics” podcast.

Nothing new

Bullshit smh...

So I guess he doesn't believe Schumer will tell his caucus to vote against the spending bill if there's no DREAM Act?

Frankly, I don't believe in the Schumer anymore. They got nothing in the last two CRs.

Stop making pointless comments. I just post the news .

Noooo, not from him.

He is down playing stufff

Senator McCaskill calls DREAM Act a “priority” for Democrats as “end of the year leverage.” On DREAMers: “What in the world are we dough deporting them?... It makes absolutely no sense.”

Aw shit if she joined in then it’s a wrapppp.

Guess the threat from liberal organizations to withhold 2018 endorsements is working!!
