Ryan rules out DACA replacement without border security measures

Paul Ryan told House Democrats Wednesday that there's no chance Republicans will pass a replacement for DACA without including border security provisions.

President Trump and Ryan have both said Congress should act on DACA, the Obama-era program that allows some illegal immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children to remain and apply for work permits, leading to some speculation that leadership would support a "clean" bill restoring those protections. Ryan made clear that's not going to happen.

AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman Ryan, said: "This afternoon the speaker and majority leader met with a number of House Democrats at their request to discuss DACA, and they reiterated that any solution needs to address border security and enforcement, which are the root causes of the problem. Discussions among the Republican conference will continue in the coming weeks."

Per a source familiar with the meeting: "There was an acceptance from Democrats that border security and enforcement will need to be a part of the solution."

Get this done

Fair get it done. Activists who monitor our comments on here please realize that you have to give in order to take sometimes. This is politics. Idealistic arguments of values and refusing to use us as bargaining chips should just be ignored for the sake of strategy--that being finally coming out of the shadows for good and living in peace.

I agree. Also this bill will cover more people, about 2.5 million apparently so it makes sense to compromise.

Will they be creating a new bill or just attaching border security to current DA

Seriously I don't see why Democrats would be against tough border security that does NOT include the Wall. We got what we wanted and that is NO WALL so what's stopping us now? This is the end game. It's now or never.

thats fine.

That's a solid deal, get 'er done!!!

Get it done tomorrow!

They would most likely attach it to the current DA. That's the only way Repubs will even bring it to the floor and vote "Yes".
