House Democratic leaders are teeing off on Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) this week, saying he is the lone barrier to a bipartisan deal protecting young undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Ryan has repeatedly promised action on legislation to shore up the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which President Trump is seeking to dismantle.

But six weeks after Trump’s March 5 deadline to end the program, no bill has reached the floor. And with November’s midterm elections inching closer, the prospects of a DACA fix this year are growing dimmer.


Democrats are feeling a new urgency — and more pressure from Hispanics in their base — to force the issue ahead of November. The effort is, to an increasing extent, focusing on Ryan, who recently announced his retirement at the end of the term — an oddly timed move that’s sparked some Democratic optimism that Ryan might “clean the barn” with a DACA fix on his way out.

Hoping to nudge Ryan in that direction, Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), vice chairwoman of the House Democratic Caucus, on Wednesday said that the Speaker is the “sole impediment” to an obtainable DACA agreement.

“If the Speaker would allow a bipartisan bill to come to the floor, we could pass it,” Sánchez said during a press briefing in the Capitol.

Ryan is positioning to run for President in the future. He's not going to pass something that could cause his problem with the GOP base. I don't think Ryan will do anything with DACA.

As a Dreamer I recommend putting as much pressure as possible on Paul Ryan, hit him on social media.

Democrats will always be the same. Between Apr 12, 1861 and May 13, 1865 they nearly destroyed all of America.
