Ryan's border visit launches push for Trump's wall

Nothing is set in stone, sources told Politico, as Trump and Homeland Security have not even finalized their own plan.

Much will be determined by what can actually pass both chambers. GOP leaders are acutely aware that any border legislation will need the approval of eight Senate Democrats to overcome a filibuster and make it to the president’s desk.

This would be the best chance to add permanent relief for dreamers.

Yes, relief for us now!

Democrats will be the ones to shut us down this time.

We only need 8 Dem Sens.

We do not have all Republicans...


I will say though, that Trump's sudden support of our situation all of a sudden changed the minds of many of his supporters.

Even people within Fox news. Lots of people see this as compasion all of a sudden and not like illegal executive amnesty.

Just the real racist bigots are the ones are pissed off.

However this is a huge win in terms of public opinion.

Border Wall funding bill will pass under any circumstance.

The question is whether DACA legislation will be included or not.

It is up to Dems to fight for it.

I do not see border wall passing without anything in return.

8 Democrats is a lot to overcome.

At most Trump can convince 2-3 Blue Dog dems. All the other dems will not vote for border enforcement unless there is some relief towards the immigrant community.

Eva, we expire around the same time

10+ Dem Senators are in vulnerable positions heading up to 2018.

Some of them will vote for Border Wall.

American people voted for Border Wall with Trump. There is a huge mandate for a wall.
