Dems won’t pick shutdown fight over Dreamers

They see the unresolved fate of Dreamers, as well as beneficiaries of temporary protected status, as a good issue for their candidates in the 2020 presidential election, when the Senate battleground map will be more favorable for Democrats than it was this year.

While Republicans said after the Nov. 6 midterm elections that they hoped to reach a deal trading border wall funding for DACA protections, meaningful negotiations have failed to materialize.

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), a leading proponent of legislation to protect Dreamers, said he has not received any serious overtures from Republicans.

Not a word has been spoken. There’s nothing from the White House to even suggest that’s on the table,” Durbin said, adding he was not aware of any immigration-related language being added to the spending bill other than extra funding for border security.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said Thursday that he preferred to keep immigration-related measures out of the bill.

“I’d rather keep it off,” he said. “I’d rather to keep as much legislation off as I can because ultimately it clouds the whole picture.”

Well, there you go guys. Get your renewals in past 2020 if you can.

I guess it's up to the Supreme Court then

After it's 2022 then 2024 and so on until we are old and shit lol.

Time to either get married or gtfo I guess

Just because Republicans won’t attach, doesn’t mean rhe Democrats can’t stand firm on DACA. The title said it: the Democrats will not risk for us.

Democrats in the House can force the White House to refocus deportations of criminals and Democrats can refuse to fund more deportations since they refuse to do what they claim they want to do.

Time for workers to unite with unions, forget the label Dreamers, it's immigrant labor that actually helps to power the economy. Which Democrats get funding from private prisons? They seem hell bent on keeping detention facilities despite the amount of increasing deaths of adults and children alike.

On the meantime McConnell is pushing to legalize hemp. Go figure.

Fking Dems

Unions won’t help us. Latinos are scared of getting in yroubles with government so they won’t dare to oppose the government. They just sit and eat popcorn. Never mind other minorities.

No one can help us. Only we can help ourselves. Let’s march. We need 800,000 to march! I just hope there is a way to invoke all 800,000 of us and get everyone on the street. Yeah. It wouldn’t matter because Congress is gay. But at least we make some noise. Sadly, none of us here can move that many.

Supreme Court please. Or else Dems will use us forever.
