Dems under pressure to deliver for Dreamers - Page 3

Things could be trickier in the Senate. The breakdown is currently 52 Republicans and 48 senators who caucus with the Democrats. But that could all change if there’s a government shutdown and Congress meets between Christmas and New Year’s. It’s likely Alabama would certify the results of Tuesday’s special election by Dec. 26. That could send Sen.-elect Doug Jones, D-Ala., to Washington. Regardless, Jones is certainly a senator by early January. The new Senate breakdown: 51 Republicans and 49 members who huddle with the Democrats.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced he “cannot in good conscience vote to add more to the already massive $20 trillion debt.” Plus, there are questions about the health of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

“Senator McCain is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy,” said his office late Wednesday. “Senator McCain looks forward to returning to work as soon as possible.”

Due to this country's failed immigration law enforcement, we Dreamers are in this predicament. We were allowed to live here, some for decades, make our lives here, raise our family here, they can't now expect us to just pack up and leave. They DO owe us relief.

Democrats were the ones that said their not leaving without a daca fix. They should of just stayed quite instead of promising something they were gonna chicken out of.

Grow up. People have different opinions to yours. If you don't like my posts, use the ignore list. Myself and my family gave been negatively affected by the current situation.

Our support has been to Democrats, not Republicans, so that is where we focus accountability. No need to clear it by you.

Why are they posting stuff like this if they don’t intend to act by years end:

122 DACA recipients lose their status every day. That’s what happened to Brittany. She is a nurturing caregiver of two 14-month old twins and lost her status on December 7th. #DreamActNow

We need pressure in some way, I've called my rep like 100 times already, what else can be done? My rep is Illeana the one that's with Curbelo, I still believe we should all have a big protest in Washington or something, imagine 500k ppl on the streets.

They want to act, but our problem is the GOP making everything in their power to make them fail by putting us against small kids..

The gop is offering a two week cont. resolution though.. are they going to include chip funding and all that on a two week resolution??? Democrats will keep having leverage into January

I thought I read it was CHIP and Military for a year, then the rest till January. I could be wrong though and it was only the military.

Yes. It was released yesterday.
