They can fix it now and do it soon. Medicare for all will not work without the millions of undocumented workers (officially)contributing their share.

Again this is all about labor. Your Daca EAD, all the others' right to work, not just protection from deportation.

There are no others...

Democrats need to move away from that rethoric.

Immigration is unpopular. Reason why you see all these world movements.

They need to find a way to negotiate for DACA because we already have it.

Other than that other people should and will have to live illegally, or adjust through other means.

Major reform is not popular. Not even with democratic control.

Not that I am against reform by the way. I would for it to happen. However there are waaaay more pressing issues that should be at the forefront of progressives.

The environment, equality and fair wages for the middle class

Yet, we are not in their agenda and we certainly dn't matter to them. We have our urgency and we need the help. Where are the helps? No where.

I am a union shop leader in one of the top spots to live in the country with the hottest economy in the nation. Immigration reform is an integral part of wage parity and the environment.

They are tied together.

#UWD and the other self-serving organizations are focused on keeping their own funding, are ineffective for the undocumented community at large, and on top of it, keep asking the rest of the taxpaying population to fund Daca fees while other undocumented workers powering the economy without the benefits of Daca are ripped away from their communities and families.

Did we get GC? I know we wouldn’t but I don’t want be a grinch. Not this year, or next year, not the following year, not the following following year. Find it funny how some still have faith and listen to tweets with mention of DACA. I remember Kennedy saying “Si se Puede”. Where is he now? Down underground!

This all could end if they just bring back up the 2013 Senate Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill.

But that makes too much sense.. lmao

Trump on shutdown: I can't tell you whether it's going to be open..it can't be open until we have a wall a fence

What do you guys think? Trump sounds resolute. I don't think he will cave. More interesting tweets on chad pergram's twitter page.

Chadperfram:

Trump on if $5 billion request for the wal and nonnegotiable: It’s complicated. We’re getting $25 billion now. It’s already approved. But that’s for everything. That’s for homeland security. That includes as we say the bells and whistles…We want the wall money to be increased.

$25B??
