Lindsey Graham favors fixing DACA with government funding bill - Page 4

Amerikkka symbolizes white supremacy.

Trump and his supporters vision of this country is not the one I know.

If you watch enough CNN you'd realize she is pretty hard on POTUS...... the question she asked is actually one I think DEMS are going to have to really wrestle with. Whether she asked it or not this is the reality of the ultimatum they are giving. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out because I can already see the GOP adds about this leading up to the mid-term elections. Hopefully they have a concrete plan to maneuver these issues to force the vote on DA.

GOP has to deal with the same question. DREAM Act has bipartisan support and majority of Americans support it. Is the GOP willing to not fund government over an issue that is widely supported? Dems can run advertisements that a vote for spending bill without DREAM Act is a vote for deportation of DREAMers.

Exactly. They're asking to fund deportation agencies and judges, etc without addressing our issue which basically would mean funding deportation against us.

Congress has a little more than a month to finish 2017 business
There is a lot on their plate, from government funding to a spy program

Spending bill

This is the biggie. The government runs out of money on December 8 and already members are talking about a potential short-term extension to keep the government running while lawmakers negotiate a bigger spending deal before lawmakers depart for the holiday.

That still doesn't leave lawmakers with much time to settle on a plan and avoid a Christmas shutdown in Washington. Republicans and Democrats are still working through the government spending caps for military and non-military funding, and some Democrats are also pushing to including protections in the bill for individuals who entered the US illegally as children, who previously benefited from the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Expect it to make for a very messy few weeks in Washington as leaders on both the Republican and Democratic sides of the aisle struggle to find a way to cut a deal that also satisfies their rank-and-file members.

i hope this deal just happens behind the scenes and not get picked up by breitbart, fox news, and other conservative outlets.

Very unlikely.

Deserves its own thread

Interesting read. It says the Dems are engaging in the tax talk, therefore, leaving DACA as secondary. Though it is nice to know the Republicans are acknowledging the backlash they will face if fails on DACA.

THIS IS IT, we have to push.
