That urgency isn't to convince democrats, but to convince republicans to give you pity and help you out. You're willing to remove your safety net for the smallest chance that republicans show you mercy. Do they think they will? Have they shown that, in policy or in real negotiation? No.

- Republicans removed daca
- Republicans wanted 4 pillars in with the wall / daca deal, and destroyed the deal
- Republicans want to pass goodlatte with a bunch of poison pills

These are the people that you want to show you mercy?
Are republicans not using DACA people for political gain?

What's needed is leverage, not a small chance that republicans show you mercy, which is what dems will have when they control the house on Jan 3rd. There should be no mention of DACA from them until then or Trump will blast dems for supporting open boarders and illegal immigration (he's already doing that now but it has less of a backbone). If you recall, the government is still in a partial shutdown. If dems mention DACA right now they'll get murdered. If you recall, the last shutdown republicans were leveraging CHIP and saying "look, dems care more about illegals than american children". You want them to start saying that again? You think that helps your cause? Because asking for dems to bring up DACA right now, you're just giving republicans more firepower and put the blame of this shutdown on dems. Not just dems, on illegal immigration so the chances of a DACA deal going through goes down.

The people saying that's nancy's nasty plan, are you a mind reader? Even if it's true, is Nancy's plan more "nasty" than what the republicans have done? You have a party that wants to legalize you in 2020 and one that does not. Yet you call the party that wants to legalize you "nasty?"

Seriously, some of you people are fully advocating for something that's actually bad for you.



Dems have leverage now. If they can somehow threaten DACA we will get urgency.

Urgency causes congress to act. No urgency nothing happens.

Remember march 5th?

How many bills did they try to pass?

how many bills did they try to pass during obama when there was not a sense of urgency. (after DACA was created.)

Congress has not changed since 2016 except for special elections (all republican majority controlled). The white house has not changed since 2016 in terms of policy. The Supreme court has gotten more republican since 2016. So dems have less leverage now than they did in 2016, if you think they even had leverage back then. The only leverage comes when the house flips on Jan. 3rd. There is no leverage now. Trump has always wanted his wall, nothing has changed.

You're giving up your safety net for urgency. In return, you hope that republicans will help you. If you believe that's the only way then you really think highly of them despite the policies they've proposed and they way they negotiated. If DACA is removed, all it does is give republicans leverage. Republicans don't see DACA as an urgency or else they wouldn't have thrown in the 4 pillars to kill the DACA / wall deal. They wanted the deal to die. Remember, Trump gave congress 6 months and they got nothing done in those 6 months. Then came the injunction from the court that allowed DACA to renew.

How many bills did they pass? What does that even mean? It's a republican controlled Congress. Both speakers are republican. Dems don't control the legislative agenda at all. Dems had to shut down the government to even get a senate vote on DACA (and if you recall, trump's DHS at 2 AM released some bogus report to derail the votes).

Since when? He was asked if DACA for Wall was his ransom, the answer was no, followed by a vague statement describing how the SCOTUS decision would "settle everything".

If you read his book, he describes his negotiating style as forcing the other side to concede to a lopsided deal. There's no compromises with him, he'll probably ask for something outrageous in return like ending birthright citizenship or the RISE Act.

So deal with it after Jan. 3rd. Dealing now is stupid for the reasons I outlined in my previous post.

Regardless, dems should be more careful. As the saying goes, fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Do you guys remember last year when the government shut down? Dems got roasted for supporting illegals. Because of that, dems gave republicans everything they wanted in that bill to open the government. All dems got was a promise DACA would be discussed in the senate and have votes? Remember how it wasn't even a legit discussion? Remember how the white house literally killed the votes in the senate by getting DHS to make some report at 2 AM?

Oh yeah, let's give up our DACA for more discussion again, turned out great last time.

Although I get you’re point, you also have to understand that it’s alarming to Dreamers when Democratic leadership make comments such as..

“Dreamers can’t occupy the whole stage”
“We have little desire to deliver on immigration until 2020”
“No wall for DACA relief”

They went from wait until we capture the House to give you guys a solution to wait until 2020 and we’ll see what happens then. Next thing they will say is wait until 2024. Yes to Dreamers this is frustrated.

We all know were the Republican Party stand by when it comes to our issue, we don’t expect them to be our Superman, their whole platform has been on anti-immigration.

However Democrats campaign for us and benefit from us politically and financially so for them to get to power and then tell us “you’re on your own” is a punch to the guts and people have the right to hold them accountable.

Both parties campaign and benefit politically and financially. I'd argue that more republicans vote because of illegal immigration than dems. Dems focus more on health care and other things. For dems, it's a moral issue but definitely not the top issue.

If you honestly believe dems are stringing you along and they don't intend to provide DACA relief, then you're saying both parties are against you. If that's the case, you should really consider yourself as having no daca at all and seek other methods like move out of the country or legalize through other means.

Do not go around telling people that they should move out of the country if they do not like this or that...
