Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.), the chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), walked uninvited to Ryan's Capitol Hill office to deliver her request, along with a handwritten note and a hula hoop.

"DACA recipients have shown that they're willing to jump through any hoop to stay in the only country they know. Let's show them that we're willing to do the same," read Lujan Grisham's note.


During her visit to Ryan's office, Lujan Grisham ran into Republican Reps. Mario D az-Balart (Fla.) and Jeff Denham (Calif.), both supporters of relief for Dreamers.

"It's nice that [they] were there because it shows that we are still really fighting as a bipartisan block to get leadership on both sides," she said. "My job is to make sure that Democrats are clear - the leadership - that the omnibus is a leverage point. You need to be using it, you need to find every vehicle to solve this problem productively."

Still, Lujan Grisham said she'll keep going to Ryan's office to ask for a meeting.

"Every day," she said. "Until we get Dreamers done."

"I have a lot more presents, some of them aren't as good," she added.

Thank you @RepLujanGrisham.

I just read that Rep. Hoyer is not committing to using the omnibus as a vehicle for Dream Act relief.

Why is he undermining tbe Congressional Hispanic Caucus' s efforts??!!

Rep. Grisham gets it. I give credit where it is truly deserved.

Rep. Eric Swalwell Retweeted Donald J. Trump
Your @HouseGOP has voted 23 times against bringing the #DreamAct to the floor, and you've thwarted several bipartisan deals.
If you can't lead, you could at least get out of the way.

Hahahaha most Republican "leaders" have no balls. At least Sen. McConnell fulfilled his promise to allow a vote.
