Schumer and the Senate Democrats getting ready to fold on DACA?
Shocking. Not.
The real question is how will this deal play in the house?
a. Will it be DOA in the House?
b. What about DACA? Time to level with the American people.
Big whoop! Where’s DACA (Dems want that)? Where’s changes to immigration and “the Wall” (Reps want that)? Who the hell is going to vote for it?
Nancy Pelosi just finished a long, filibuster-like statement on the House floor saying that many Democratic Reps won’t support this because it doesn’t address DACA. I’m not sure what this means in the terms of the likelihood of the “compromise” passing (and I’m already nauseous from the coverage claiming this is some kind of miracle)
So.Much.Deception.
Thanks, GOP…
The fact that the senate ignored trump as he tried to create a partisan war over immigration by demanding it be included in the spending bill is really entertaining.
his own party burned his orange ass…now there has to be a separate immigration/DACA bill…
It’s a good thing deficits don’t matter.
Getting budget negotiations and possible shutdowns out of the picture could help Democrats with other issues, including DACA and immigration, by setting up votes where they are dealt with separately instead of being tied to funding for the military or healthcare, etc. It may remove some of the hostage situations and make Republicans look bad on the merits of things that are important to most Americans. However, since R’s still control the floors of both chambers and what legislation sees the light of day - and both Ryan and McConnell are snakes who cannot be trusted and are still hell-bent on their agendas - they will likely find other ways to make life very difficult for Democrats and ruin many real lives in the process.
The Democrats had better have a real plan going forward, and not just hopes and good intentions.
Since when has that ever happened?
