White House: Border wall funding doesn’t have to be tied to DACA legislation

White House legislative affairs director Marc Short told reporters on Tuesday that President Trump would not demand that border wall funding is tied to a legislative fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

Speaking at a roundtable event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, Short said the administration didn’t want to “bind” itself by making a demand that would likely be a nonstarter for many lawmakers.

“We’re interested in getting border security and the president has made the commitment to the American people that a barrier is important to that security,” Short said. “Whether it’s part of DCA or another legislative vehicle, I don’t want to bind us into a construct that would make the conclusion on DACA impossible.”

Short's comments echo House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who similarly said last week that he wouldn't demand border wall funding be tied to DACA legislation.

Seems like the wall is not an issue then. Dream Act + More agents, drones, cameras.

Well, if the wall does not have to be bargained for, everything else can be negotiated.

This is good news. Everyone should be on the same page now that there's guidance from the WH.

I told you so, told you so!

Now we just need Ryan to grow a spine

Shut yo ass up. Told me what? I said Trump would not sign a clean DA bill. Which he still won't, it needs to be paired with Border Security.

That's where the real problem lies. Punk ass Ryan.

Read the article closer. Short said. “Whether it’s part of DCA or another legislative vehicle, I don’t want to bind us into a construct that would make the conclusion on DACA impossible.”

Nenener told ya sooooo. A clean bill won't get to trumps desk if republicans have a say, but he would sign a clean bill regardless.

There you have it. DA's fate is squarely 100% in Democrats hand the way I see it. Will they continue using us politically or will they fucking get this thing passed finally.
