Dream Act passes the Judiciary Committee - Page 2

If it's shoved into a budget bill then he'll have a hard time issuing a veto.

It doesn't look like that's going to happen right now. The debt ceiling and budget bills are already being negotiated behind closed doors. Both parties basically want no contentious items in order to provide the most basic requirements of a government.

Like the Democrats would ever do that. In Schumer’s own words.. “We can’t let Dreamers take the entire stage”.

Going into the 2020 election immigration is not issue that anyone truly wants to fix at this point.

I'm curious what you think democrats should do so it doesn't look like a "show" to score "political points."

Looks like more of the same !

At this point they can’t do nothing. Congress is a shit show and the 2020 elections are near that neither party would truly want to compromise and fix our immigration issue.

The Republicans are doing the same thing right now crafting anti-immigration bills that won’t pass the House, however they are doing so to bring out their base and to bring the party “together”.

Both parties are working on worthless bills that have no chance of passing, however the race to the 2020 elections have started and it’s all about scoring political points now.

I agree with you assessment that if there's legislative relief, it will most likely come after 2020 unless some unexpected thing happens like finally Trump realizing he needs the latino vote to win 2020. Trading DACA for removing visa lottery and take those visas for merit based immigration is not too bad of a deal. Might get some extra money on border security too.

I want to see what happens when the DA passes and goes to the senate. There's surprising amount of republicans that like some form of permanent DACA relief. Will they counter offer or will they just block it? At least we can see where the current senate stands on the issue. DACA is supposed to have bipartisan support, polling between 70%-80% in favor.

Sucks to be us!

Dream Act should pass this year. This is the best chance in history.

Mitch isn't even going to bring up.. he doesn't want to risk a few GOP Sens crossing party lines.
