[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the cspan video I’m hearing - they work on this now. Predictably they won’t agree. Then they get to Feb 8 - do a budget deal. IF then there is no DACA deal + Dems don’t shut down the govt, THEN McC puts up a DACA bill with all that other stuff. Couldn’t they do a clean budget now, that Dems have no choice but to pass if they want to keep the govt open - which they do now bc DACA only comes up with an open govt. But once a clean budget is passed, GOP can put up any DACA bill it wants and Dems can take it or leave it - but can’t shut down the govt for it bc a budget will already be in place.

So why are people saying another shut down Feb 8?[/quote]
I think a lot of us are confused. Some believe McConnell said we’ll do DACA by/before Feb 8, at which time we’ll also vote on a budget. But others are saying he said “if the government is open feb 8” which would indicate something more like 1. Budget passes and government is open, then 2. DACA brought up on/after Feb 9 with intent to resolve before March deadline. [/quote]
