Meanwhile, Pelosi hinted that Obama, who last week condemned Trump’s decision to unilaterally end DACA, would soon become more vocal in the fight on Capitol Hill.

“He has made clear his priority was to speak out first and foremost on the Dreamers because this was really wrong,” Pelosi said Tuesday. “At some point, I’m hopeful that he will be helpful to our House and Senate efforts, and I think he will.”
Also this is the wrong move , I'm glad they scrapped that idea . We don't want a military only dream act

Meanwhile, Democrats have furiously strategized behind the scenes about how to push the Dreamer issue, especially with must-pass legislation facing Congress throughout the rest of the year.

Some Democrats privately mulled trying to attach legislation that would grant legal status to DACA recipients serving in the military as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which the Senate is taking up this week, according to multiple sources.

But Democrats determined that they didn’t want to risk angering Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) — for whom the defense bill is a top priority — particularly because McCain is a longtime champion of comprehensive immigration reform and would be a critical GOP ally in a legislative battle over Dreamers, the sources said.
Let's keep up the pressure on congress. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, so be positive and let's keep spreading our message out there .

Democrats have repeatedly drawn a hard line against construction of a 2,000-mile barrier along the southern border with Mexico, either in government spending negotiations or in talks over how to codify DACA into law. Key Democrats have, however, indicated they will have to accept some modest border security measures to pick up support from congressional Republicans on a DACA fix.

Pelosi didn’t indicate what type of border security provisions would be palatable to most Democrats, saying her party was focused on a “clean” Dream Act and pressuring GOP lawmakers, particularly moderates, to get on board.

House Democrats will launch a discharge petition effort later this month to try to force the issue to the floor, and Pelosi said they will focus on persuading the roughly two dozen House Republicans who have endorsed a more conservative version of the Dream Act sponsored by Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.). That legislation, Pelosi said in the reporters’ roundtable, was “not good enough

I hope Democrats don't get shit done and Trump just re-enacts DACA

What narrative would they even have? They should of included us into the recent budget bill and not have us wait til December... but as usual they want to play politics and smear the Republicans by having them take No votes and stalling the Dream Act. Typical.
