WH blasts bipartisan immigration plan ahead of key shutdown vote - Page 9

The only way CIR will ever pass is if Democrats control all 3 branches by a substantial margin.[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily but that's besides the point. It's obvious Daca people are desperate but my point is if Democrats are trying to negotiate a concession to parents or aged out dreamers then begrudging those other dreamers even the slightest opportunity is selfish no matter how out of reach it may seem. No one said anything about amnesty but if Dems are wiling to go for broke than Daca ppl need to suck it up and get over it.
