Lawmakers on Capitol Hill broadly agreed on Tuesday that something should be done about young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and who will eventually lose deportation protections if Congress does not step in to help them.

But Republicans are already placing conditions on their support .They are willing to vote for protecting so-called “Dreamers” ― but not without getting something in exchange for it.

“Hopefully there will be some give and take and we can accomplish something,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said, suggesting Democrats could support efforts to boost border security.

Another possibility for stand-alone legislation is the Recognizing America’s Children Act, or RAC Act, that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) plans to introduce in the Senate soon. He indicated on Tuesday that his bill is meant to pass on its own ― he told reporters that although “we need border security measures, it’s a different bill going through Congress.”


Democrats are unlikely to compromise on funding Trump’s border wall, some said. But they might be willing to accept other measures.

I have been reaching out to several local UWD reps to voice our views about comprising, and they claim to understand. . .

A lot of them are starting to realize that a compromise will be necessary.

would that be such a bad deal? if some how we were used to pay for the wall. I wouldn't mind if whatever program goes through has an application fee of lets say of 2-5k with that money ending up being used for the wall. I wouldn't mind at all so long as the work permit lasts longer than 2 years. We do consider our selfs to be more American than whatever country we are all from, so if that's what the American government want from us in exchange how is that bad?

Btw, the support we are getting is incredible! The congress has no choice, but to act to protect us.

I'm sure Dems and UWD will come around. We have to set the bar high though to come to the negotiating table to meet in the middle ground.

If Dems and republicans both compromise, the bill will be passed.

The only problem is bringing it up to a vote on the floor

That shouldn't be a problem. A vote will certainly be scheduled before the deadline. Wednesday should be another big day because Congressional leaders from both parties will have a meeting with Trump.
