Congressional Democrats are weighing a push for a fix to the decade-old program that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants known as “Dreamers” in the lame-duck session.

Democratic leaders in the House and the Senate signaled Tuesday that Democrats are open to pursuing a bill for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program before the new session of Congress starts in January, when Republicans are favored to take control of the House.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., mentioned addressing DACA as a top priority in the lame-duck session in a Democratic caucus meeting Tuesday, a senior Democratic aide said.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said: “We want to get DACA done. We’d like to get whatever we can do in the lame-duck session, and a number of our senators — led by Senator [Dick] Durbin as well as Senator [Kyrsten] Sinema and others working in a bipartisan way — we’re trying to get something done.”

Durbin, the Democratic whip, told reporters, “It’s a long shot but it’s still worth pursuing.”

Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., the vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, confirmed at a news conference Tuesday that the issue is a priority for House Democrats.

“The courts have put DACA at risk moving forward, and we want to make sure that we offer the ability for these individuals who have had DACA status and are American in every way — except the piece of paper — to continue and to have hopefully a legislative solution to a path to citizenship,” Aguilar said.

Aguilar noted that Democrats will need 10 GOP votes in the Senate to move forward with legislation. He expressed confidence that a group of Senate Democrats, including Durbin, are working to get the votes.

Yeah right. If this was a priority, you wouldn't wait till lame duck to act like you tried to do something...

An article from Bloomberg said something similar. I think if they focus on fixing daca only and are willing to implement border security, then something can pass. We never had a bill that was focused just on Daca.

When they add other groups, push for special pathway citizenship, and stuff like that, the situation gets tricky. Daca is really the only politically safe middle ground for the GOP

The GOP wants border security and funding + asylum reform. Frankly, I am ok with a 5-year renewable work permit because that adds a level of safety and security we don't have. Citizenship means very little at this point.

With the Hawks controlling the house, nothing will pass in the next 2 years.

they havent mentioned anything on the legalization for all or nothing bullsht for the first time....

if they mention ANYTHING related to it again it will kill anything for us DACAs.

dont be surprised if our greatest enemy "United We Dream" begins with the legalization for all or nothing sht since it means the end of their cash grab.

regardless, if we get citizenship, voting for the Fanta Orange man is the only way to save the country.

this is like a trial test of whats to come for DACA, if they dont do anything right now, we are beyond fked next year when DACA reaches SCOTUS. if only United We Dream would keep their fkin mouth shut with the legalization for all or nothing bullsht. smfh

How convenient that they (typically) wait until the last minute and with imminent Republican- house control to 'try' to help. Cowards and corrupt lot.

7-8 million essential workers with lives in limbo. Ask why they can legalize marijuana, but not immigrants.
