If the Democrats want to hold the budget hostage because they want a DACA deal then shame on them. Deal with DACA separately. Shame an any party that continues to tack different agendas together as a way to fight the other side. The spending bill doesn't, and shouldn't, have anything to do with DACA.[/quote]

Do you know why DACA is an issue today? Because the GOP was never once willing to put it to the floor for a vote, so no.[/quote]

Exactly. The GOP as a whole hasn't acted in good faith on this issue at any point along the way. Dems would be fools to believe that if they pass this resolution the GOP will [b]start negotiating sincerely on DACA.

After all, Susan Collins is still waiting on Obamacare stabilization, and the GOP isn't even pretending to keep their word on that one. [/quote]

There is a viable proposal for dealing with DACA but it needs funding for the wall/enhanced border security, limiting chain migration, and cutting back on the number of new immigrants by limiting to a merit based system without regard to country of origin. If these are part of the legislation the DACA kids can be given right of residence and a pathway to citizenship.

So DACA beneficiaries are just pawns to achieve other ends. Got it. [/quote]

DACA beneficiaries are getting a break if legislation passes. What is required is to take measures to minimize the likelihood of it happening again.[/quote]

So punish the DACA beneficiaries for things other people might do in the future.

How very... something... of you.[/quote]

Bizarre reasoning ........[/quote]

You know they're human beings, right? Human beings who are innocent victims in this? They're not things, they're not trash, they're actual human beings, just like you, with just as much inherent value as you have.[/quote]

And the people who are immigrating here legally and in so many cases have been stuck in the legal immigration line for 15 years or more without any idea of whether they'll get a green card in the end are human beings too. Why are you prioritizing those whose families broke the law? Do you extend the same consideration to children of Americans whose parents have committed a crime, however puny, and have to go to jail? This double standard is a cruel joke.

True that! Signed many-generation American.

Nobody waits that long, unless they are parents or adult children of immigrants. Are you for chain migration now?

[/quote]

Of course they do. I have Indian friends who've been here since 2002 on work visas. Their green card application had to be restarted by a new employer when his company decided to transfer operations abroad. If I remember correctly, the last I checked a couple of months ago, CIS was up to processing 2008 applications, and theirs was refiled in 2011 or something like that. Natives who think legal immigration is a walk in the park don't have a clue.
