Jared is making the wall pitch to Hill, calling at least one Democratic Senator - @Sen_JoeManchin - and stressing that Trump is committed to full wall funding. In that convo in the last couple of days, Manchin told Jared they should do a dreamer deal instead, Manchin tells me
Not that relevant, but a little interesting:

After not voting for the DREAM Act

DECEMBER 18, 2010
STATEMENT FROM SENATOR MANCHIN REGARDING THE DREAM ACT

Sen. Joe Manchin today released the following statement regarding the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act:



“While sympathetic to those who passionately support it, I cannot support the DREAM Act, as is, at this time.



“I strongly believe the DREAM Act should require the completion of a degree. As currently written, the legislation does not. Requiring the completion of a degree is exactly what the DREAM Act should be about, as it will help ensure that the young people who qualify have a real chance to fulfill the American Dream and become the productive citizens they aspire to be.



"In fact, I've had sincere discussions with my fellow senators and committee staff as to whether it would be possible to change the legislation to address my concerns. At this time, it is not.



“All that being said, I do believe, as most Americans do, that our immigration system is broken and must be fixed. During the next session of Congress, I sincerely hope to work with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to achieve true comprehensive immigration reform."

I'm fine with this requirement. Just go to community college and get yourself a 2 year. unless you have mental difficulties it should be easy, if not boring.

Many of the things you learn there can make lots more cash than 4 year degrees in the humanities, activism, and arts. You just have to get dirty in a small number of cases.

you can do part time, even if you take 6 credits at a time. Having that 2 year and the gc from it is absolutely worth it. take online classes. take night classes. you can earn more money with that gc.

I think Manchin was talking about a four year degree. Hilarious because most of his constituents probably don’t have a four year degree.

Definitely. It’s just a political cover.
