Chris Padilla, vice president for the government and regulatory affairs at IBM, told The Hill that the company believes Congress can pass bipartisan legislation that would enshrine DACA policy into law by the end of the year.
Quote:
Padilla said he thinks DACA provisions for Dreamers could be included as a part of a bipartisan fiscal package that Congress is trying to pass by the end of the 2017 legislative session.

Congressional observers are less confident in this. Adding DACA to a fiscal package is something the GOP is unfavorable to, despite interest from some Republicans in DACA legislation.



The company has been meeting with legislators to make its case for DACA provisions that affect many of its employees. However, the company is also making a broader push by flying in many of its employees who benefit from the DACA program to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and make their case.


“Our view is it’s more about what you do than what you tweet,” Padilla told The Hill. “Many tech companies have issued statements, but we’re actually trying to do something.”


Along with having DACA recipients and its lobbyists meet with legislators, IBM has also launched a Dreamer profile series, which tells the story of different Dreamers at the company.

Dream Act + Border security attached to budget bill seems like the most plausible scenerio right now.

but the administration has specifically stated that they are not looking to grant citizenship to dreamers so a codified/permanent DACA or bridge act is a more likely compromise.

Doesn’t matter what the administration wants . They may not push for citizenship but they will have no choice to sign whatever gets to his desk . Is it that hard to understand?

The official said the White House would be pushing for "legal status" for the Dreamer population but would not be advocating citizenship.

Would Dems even consider that? They have been pushing for the Dream Act since the beggining. The white house said they aren't looking to grant Citizenship but that doesn't mean they aren't open to it.

NOT ADVOCATING is way different than being opposed to it. Common now, we all are suppose to be fluent in English!
