Is it "moral" for the far left to shut down the government when they are refusing to take steps to ensure that DACA recipients are not a never ending problem? Illegal immigration must be dealt with, and while I think fencing is only one part of a many step solution, it certainly makes sense to erect physical barriers in places where illegals are simply walking across on a daily basis. All the drones in the world won't stop that as simply and effectively as a fence. I think you guys need to give a little.We're talking potentialities here, as you know. But even if every miserable Republican in the Senate voted for the CR, my point is that it would not pass without some Democrats' approval. Hopefully enough Democrats don't want the stigma of shutting down the government on their shoulders. I am pretty left-ly aligned when it comes to immigration, but I am completely opposed to shutting down the government over it. As I said before, DACA is popular enough a concept that legislation to allow them to become citizens can happen APART from the budget.The House can pass it, but not the Senate, and both are required.
So, where the fuck is that passed House plan on the CR being held up in the Senate??
I fully DISAGREE........Ultra right wingers "advising" the uninformed and incompetent Trump have convinced him that any deal on DACA will be interpreted as "amnesty."
Ergo, if Dems. want a DACA deal they best stick to denying yet another CR......sure, shoulder some of the blame for a shutdown, but win both on moral and political grounds for the Hispanic community.
