Senate Democrats have prepared an alternative proposal for the Parliamentarian’s cons - Page 4

Still amazes me how the dems want to believe that the faith of their proposals are up to1 staffer.

I can just imagine how ridiculous their statement is going to be when the Parliamentarian shutdown all their proposals "Sadly the Parliamentarian does not agree with our proposals, we'll continue to work on solving this issue for these wonderful people who were brought here as children without fault of their own, they contribute to our society, they pay their taxes, they are our beloved neighbors, first responders blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. It f-ing socks to be in this situation!

Yea man... Part of me thinks we had the vote count (or close to it) so they had to introduce blockers like this staffer. What's next? Schumer's dog not agreeing with the next immigration bill? Lol

If this fails because Dems failed to garner support from Manchin and Sinema, so be it. But, don’t fucking insult our intelligence by making the parliamentarian seem like a huge roadblock when she really isn’t. Don’t insult our intelligence with these bullshit theatrics. That’s what the problem is to some of us barking at Dem leadership in the Senate. We aren’t fucking children and idiot Trump supporters.

spot on! pretty sad to see.

Right. If it fails the vote then so be it. But if it doesn’t even come up because some fking nobody suggested you can’t do it, then screw democrats. Just bunch of loud mouths

If we all had the balls of 1960's Vietnam war protestors and organized and rallied and applied pressure rather than us being keyboard warriors here, this would be be ancient history and we would be on the road to legalization now. Instead we have Harris and Biden having lunch with UWD and Durbin giving more speeches and tweeting.

Optics and public perception go such a long way in causing change. A nation-wide, positive Dreamer PR crusade would change things and drastically increase our chances here. We are pathetic.

Stick to DACA.

No Dreamers, Aged out DACA. None of that.

Just active DACA recipients. But that's too easy. Hence, Democrats probably won't do it.

No aged out DACA sounds cruel but the less people it benefits the better odds. I would still include aged out DACA. Infact I wouldn’t include anyone who hasn’t been here for at least 5 years and was brought before the age of 16.
