Never be DACA only bill.    If they want to protect DACA the they vote for ending chain migration, the wall, and the visa lottery.   At this. Point. They should also add on the raise act.  Go nuclear in the senate and make the changes the good, decent, normal people have wanted.

I do wonder if you ever read the posts or just have a copy & paste answer ready for every topic.

Quote:Trump has urged Congress to write legislation giving these immigrants permanent protections, but he has failed to reach a compromise with Congress.



"It is time to have a full debate for the American public and have the entire country decide what border security should look like, what a permanent fix for Dreamers should look like," said Republican Representative Jeff Denham, who represents a central California district with a large Hispanic population.


In 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton beat Trump in his district, leading to speculation that Denham, like Republicans in similar areas, could face a tough re-election.


At least 218 votes are needed in the 435-member House to pass legislation. With five vacancies, slightly fewer are necessary.


But there are difficulties, even with the 240 votes supporting this latest immigration push.


Only 50 of the House's 237 Republicans are behind the effort so far, with nearly all 190 Democrats on board.


That presents political problems for Ryan and his leadership team, which bridles at passing legislation not backed by a majority of fellow Republicans.

You literally pulled one phrase: "speculation that Denham, like Republicans in similar areas, could face a tough re-election." and tried to reframe the entire article to Democrats obstructing the bill.  That takes chutzpah!  Kudos!
