Schumer threatens to add DREAM Act to all bills that move this fall

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) said on Wednesday that if Republicans do not bring to the floor a bill to protect an estimated 800,000 immigrants brought to the country illegally as children from deportation, Democrats will try to attach it to any must-pass legislation that moves this fall.

“If a clean DREAM Act does not come to the floor in September, we are prepared to attach it to other items this fall until it passes,” Schumer announced at a press conference with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and other colleagues.

Democrats will have multiple opportunities to tack the bill onto must-pass legislation.

Congress has to pass bills to keep the government funded and to raise the debt limit before Oct. 1.

Lawmakers will also have to pass a year-end omnibus spending package to fund federal departments and agencies in 2018.

My man!!!!!!!

Do it!!

Attach it to the Harvey Relief!

Can he actually do that? Dont really know rules

They could, but there's a risk the main bill will have trouble passing

this is funny, in a good way!!!

It's a given they'll pass relief for Harvey. Attach everything to it, my mortgage too.

Attach my bills to it too.

Democrats are scared of the backlash of attaching it.

It's DO OR DIE. Attach that shit to everything. Get it passed!
