Cornyn and other deputy leaders — Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) — continue to engage in immigration talks that Republicans are hopeful will yield a deal.

Cornyn said he spoke with McCarthy over the weekend and Durbin on Tuesday morning. Their staffs are expected to meet again this afternoon.

“We continue to work. We know we got a deadline, so we got to get this thing done,” Cornyn said.

“It can’t just be an agreement between six senators,” Cornyn continued, referencing the bipartisan agreement Durbin and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) presented last week that was dismissed by the White House. “It has to be one that will pass both houses and that the president would sign and I’m committed to making sure we stay at it until we find a solution.”

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is expected to meet with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday morning. CHC members held a series of calls over the weekend to discuss strategy and then released a statement seemingly in opposition to the Graham-Durbin deal without mentioning the proposal by name.

House Armed Services Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) told reporters Tuesday he thought congressional leaders could reach a spending caps deal as soon as today. But Democratic leaders have shown no desire to strike a long-term funding agreement until DACA is resolved — and could face an intraparty revolt if they did so.

"Frankly, I think it's not that hard to get a DACA deal, but the question is do they want to?" Thornberry said.

Bennet, however, comes from a swing-state. Other Democrats, like Dick Durbin of Illinois, have suggested they won’t back any spending agreements without a deal.

But lawmakers are still hopeful a deal will be reached by Friday.

“I don’t think there’s going to be a shutdown,” Cornyn said. “I think that would be a big mistake.”

E verify, chain migration, visa lottery, border security and enforcement for DA, as easy as that. Our great leader has a golden opportunity in his hands to accomplish hard core shit and he's just letting it slip all thanks to his ego.

These weak Dems who would vote for the CR without DACA will experience the wrath of liberals everywhere. There will be dozens of Chelsea Mannings that will pop up and make them pay.

Also to people who are telling me and others to focus more on going after Republicans rather than Democrats, I will tell you that I still have expectations that Democrats will do the right thing. I have given up on Republicans. With the exception of a few and even those only on a few issues, I consider Republicans and Republicanism to not only be wrong politically but also to be the party and ideology of terrible people. If I am ever able to become a citizen of the US, I will do everything I can to oppose this racist and hatred filled party and I wish Republicans not only poor luck in elections, but also wish heaps of misfortune to anyone who calls themselves conservative or Republican: politician or otherwise. I hope they suffer as much as or even more than I have.

E-VERIFY? Do you even understand what that entails? That would be selling out the entire 11 million undocumented population and millions of their American born children and throwing them to the wolves.

Why is the CHC opposed to this? It's like there are multiple little parties within a party.

It entails a political poison. Very few people support it on the Hill. But it is likely to be part of a complete CIR.
