No DACA.

No funded government.

And we shall call this VICTORY!

Now as long as the shutdown goes on the repugs will continue to take the heat and will be forced to include DACA as well as CHIP and gov. funding to get the Dem votes needed to reach the 60 votes needed for passage.

We've got them by the short hairs.

We need to stand up for a critical part of our base — the Latino-American vote.

That house CR has CHIPS renewed for 6yrs but no DACA. The budget would have stayed whar it is now for 30 days.

The gops tried to trap the dems in voting for it to get CHIPS and not get DACA.

if we passed CHIP with the CR they would have just turned around and booted the dreamers out, right?

sorry for the questions but it so hard to navigate the maze of talking heads on TV!!!!!!!

Yet they had no problem making the tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations “permanent” (non-expiring).

Oh. And of course, as you mentioned, nothing about DACA.

No DACA.

Let's not forget, the maggot messed with both programs to create this crisis. There was no reason whatsoever for either.
