Schumer says DACA fix must be attached to "must-pass" bill. Says that's the spending bill to avoid a gov't shutdown next week. McConnell wants DACA to be handled separately

Vote calculus in the Hse has switched on gov't funding since early Dec. Fmr GOP Rep Franks voted to avoid a shutdown. He's no longer a mbr. Scalise now out for surgery. GOP FL Rep Curbelo won't vote for another stopgap $ bill w/o a permanent DACA fix

More from @ChadPergram

Factors to watch in DACA/immigration/border fight: 1) What can Trump accept? 2) How far can GOPers bend on DACA without giving up a key issue and inflaming their base? 3) Are Dems willing to give up DACA as an "issue?" & handle DACA separately from gov't funding?

Problems in averting a gov't shutdown & dealing w/DACA by next wk: 1) Time. 2) Still no topline fiscal number. 3) Congressional physics. You still need 218 in Hse. 60 & 51 in Senate. Unclear where the votes will be.

Schumer says gov't funding bill next wk is the only "must pass" bill available to attach DACA. But there could bet at least 1 more gov't funding bill if that is a stopgap. And an increase in the debt ceiling will be required before the end of winter

CHC Chair Lujan Grisham: I am encouraged that the President assured me and the bipartisan, bicameral group of lawmakers in attendance that he was also committed to that goal.

It's amazing how misinformed people are still on this issue.

@ananavarro on Trump's bipartisan immigration meeting: "He is laying this straight on Congress' lap. If they don't come up with something, it's their fault. They own it."
