Republican leaders say Senate immigration debate may end Thursday

Senate Republicans on Monday night declared they would only allow immigration to be on the Senate floor for one week -- pressuring Democrats to show their hand as the Senate inched closer to opening its debate.

A GOP leadership aide said Republicans want to light a fire under Democrats and get them to release their amendments. GOP leaders are worried Democrats want to drag out the debate for "weeks and weeks."

"That's the plan," said GOP leadership member Sen. John Barrasso when asked if this would be finished this week. He added that "Democrats have been waiting for this for a long time. They were promised we'd go to the floor with this and it's now on the floor."

Negotiators hope to have plan Tuesday
Democrats and moderate Republicans negotiating with them, meanwhile, said they have nothing finalized -- yet. But the goal, they said, is to have something by Tuesday.

"We are continuing to really talk turkey, legislative language etc," said Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine, who is part of a bipartisan group negotiating on the topic. "We're making progress, but," he added, trailing off. "It may be (ready Tuesday), not for sure."

Hell yeah force them or nothing will ever get done

Dems are gonna be like thank God they only have to pretend that they want to get something done for one week.

Am I too excited? I just have a feeling this thursday is the D.A.Y for us.
I'm exhausted from waiting, waiting and waiting..
I'm tired of people commenting "I don't trust Dems and all but I trust them.
Let's get this shit done this thursday bros and sis.

Lol after Thursday, you're going to be hit with even more waiting. Ryan is going to be a cunt and hide the bill in his bra so we never find it ever again.

There’s absolutely no reason for the Democrats not to be ready. They have had years to prepare for this moment.

I hope Thursday is the day we get closer to either relief or deportations. I'm sick and tired of this uncertainty.

Here we go!
