I hate to be repetitive, but I post this for the third time today…and hope it is not the case (but fear that it is).

Unfortunately, they probably have to accept a deal that will include a deal on the wall (hoping to zero it out when they re-take control). But the deal should include an up-or-down vote on the bi-partisan DACA bill that we know is supported by a majority in both houses, and by a certain date. Not just a vote on some unstated immigration “reform” at some time in the future, or on some unstated “reform” by a certain date.

Given everything else we’ve seen from Trump’s wrecking crew so far, for all we know the Dems get DACA in return for giving up on the Bill of Rights.

Pussies. What happens to DACA participants until this vote in the future? Will they be protected until this vote takes place?

The deal should be a vote on CHIP, then DACA, then CR, in order of importance.

If there’s a “promise” involved, they’d better carve it in McConnell’s forehead.

And then demand a vote on DACA and CHIP before the CR, because…Ryan.

ETA: And, I’d just like to see something carved in McConnell’s forehead. For some reason, I’m feeling a bit sadistic today.

Because we know that Republicans would never go back on a promise, particularly one signed in water.
