Republicans are working on a DACA fix bill of their own that would give recipients "legal extensions," according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was at the meeting. The GOP would also include multiple border security measures, and attempt to put an end to chain migration, which was the main goal of the RAISE Act that Perdue and Sen. Tom Cotton introduced in August.

Also on board with Trump move are members of the House Freedom Caucus. Freedom Caucus members are wary about the December spending bill but breathed a sigh of relief with the president's decision.
Cmon Lindsey Graham ! Any move the freedom caucus agrees with isn’t a good one lol

Not all Republicans agree, however. There is still a group that believes DACA must be taken care of by the end of the year, including Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., along with Reps. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., and Mike Coffman, R-Colo.

"I think we've got to do this in a year-end spending bill," Flake said. "These kids are going to get tied down, and it's terrible for them to have to live with that kind of uncertainty. We've got to deal with it now. We shouldn't wait on it."
Hopefully, this number grows

Democratic leadership is keeping their powder dry on the issue, and they aren't yet agreed on whether to try to hold up the spending bill over DACA. Some rank-and-file members have made public calls saying that they will not support a spending measure without a permanent fix for Dreamers in the bill, leading to talk of a potential government shutdown.

"I'm going to wait to talk to some of my ... Republican colleagues who were in the room before reacting," Schumer said during a press conference on Thursday afternoon. "I think we're all of the view that we're going to do everything we can to pass the bill, but we expect it will pass because we have a lot of Republican support for this bill, and I think it's going to do better than people think no matter what Donald Trump says on one given day or another."

I'm OK if it's a permanent legal extension.

F this. Tom Cotton does not control the Republican Party. I don’t understand why Lindsey Graham is giving him so much power.

Because Republicans are a bunch of cucks and Trump is a retard. Another option might be that they are trying to pull hard to the right to get some more money for their shitty wall but I doubt that's the case.

Well guys, we'll know in December when the debt ceiling comes.

And RAISE Act is so super popular - look at all those Senators eagerly lining up to cosponsor it (it has 1 cosponsor). Stupid GOP letting the anti-immigrant faction of their party have more power than they deserve.
