Goodlatte bill fails 193-231 - Page 6

My main issue with them dude is that they did not use the political capital they had in 2008 on the issue. Rather, they used it on a shitty health care reform bill. If they care that much, they would have used that political capital right away in that time when they were relatively powerful to force shit through Congress. Keep in mind that the issue of Dreamers started to gain recognition around 2000/2001. So, when they had control in 2008 and were relatively powerful, why didn't they use it on young kids brought here by their parents? And, if you say, well the Republicans obstruct then I will ask you the same question: how do you feasibly break that cycle if the MAJORITY (not all) of Republicans always obstruct. You are never going to have 60+ Dem votes in the Senate for a clean dream act or a decent compromise--even if a blue wave (majority control) does happen.

@your signature

Republicans: "we just cant do anything period!"

How can this cycle end?

The Health Reform would have been amazing but the republicans fuck it up making into the cluster fuck that is today. The entire Obama presidency, he was obstructed by Republicans. Passing a health reform was a far more important issue than DA, now we think we should be a priority over actual voting citizens...? You don't break that cycle, all we can say is under republicans, we will never get relief. The only time we got wel, other people got something was with Reagan and only because he was viewed as some Republican prophet

Buy them some weed and stick them in a room

Its hilarious say shit like

"Duuuurrr Democrats controlled congress 2010, with a democrat presidency and still couldnt shit done!!"

Because we can say that Republicans, 32 of them literally obstructed them from passing the DA

and you know whats hilarious ironic?

2018, Republicans control Congress and the white house, so where are the results? No one but other Republicans obstructed themselves.

Gonna be on daca for awhile. Unless the courts actually get rid of it and cards get taken away then its going to be like the asylum kids. It'll become a big story and they'll get backlash for taking away our eads and they'll be forced to do something. At least that's the way I see it going down. They'll only do something until its a crisis.

Send your renewals ASAP!

Maybe it’s good Dems touched healthcare. Republicans have been trying to repeal it the day since it passed. I can only imagine them doing the same for our legalization.

Idk, I don't think any measure to pull carpet from people that got legalized ever passed.

TPS guys got kinda screwed because TPS is not permanent and done by designation by DHS.
