Democrats unlikely to force DACA vote this week, probably averting shutdown
 
Source: Washington Post

Democrats are backing away from a pledge to force a vote this month over the fate of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children, angering activists but likely averting the threat of a government shutdown at a critical moment in spending negotiations with Republicans and President Trump.

With a deadline of midnight Friday to pass spending legislation, dozens of Democrats had vowed to withhold support if Republicans refused allow a vote on a measure known as the Dream Act that would allow roughly 1.2 million immigrants to stay legally in the United States.

But a group of vulnerable Democratic senators facing reelection in conservative states next year aren’t willing to go that far — meaning the party is unlikely to muster the votes to block the spending bill.

“We’ve got to get it done, but I’m not drawing a line in the sand that it has to be this week versus two weeks from now,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who faces reelection next year in a state that Trump won by more than 18 points. Other Democrats facing similar head winds echoed that sentiment, including Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W. Va.) and Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.). Trump won those states by 42 and 19 percentage points, respectively.

1. And this is why people hate voting for Dems - a refusal to do what is right.  :-) :-) :-) :-)
 
No Dem incumbent should be afraid of next year's elections. The fact that multiple Dem senators are running scared of this stance only invites primary challenges from the left
  :-) :-) :-) :-)

6. Are you kidding?    :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: We have vulnerable Dem Senators...The GOP could end up with a super majority if we are not careful.  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Losing elections is what got us here in the first place...those who voted to 'teach Democrats a lesson' got us here. Personally I love voting for Democrats and despise Republicans.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Well see, there's your problem right there.  They are not Mexican-American kids, they are simply Mexicans who are here illegally because if they were Mexican-American's they wouldn't need DACA.

Liberals, they can't get anything right.

so you morons really think it's good policy to let the legal U.S. Citizens suffer because of a government shutdown so that illegal aliens can get special treatment?  Shows where your loyalties lie...
