Pelosi: We're not leaving town without DACA

Source: The Hill




BY MIKE LILLIS - 12/07/17 01:05 PM EST

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday intensified the Democrats’ demands that Congress protect “Dreamers” before year’s end.

Speaking to reporters in the Capitol, Pelosi said Democrats will insist on safeguards for those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program before the holiday recess, suggesting Republicans will be on their own to prevent a government shutdown if that language is excluded.

“We will not leave here without a DACA fix,” Pelosi said.

The comments came just hours before the House is expected to vote on legislation extending government spending for two weeks to prevent a shutdown on Saturday, when funding expires.

Only way this happens is on the Senate side (and good luck with that). They need a CHIP "fix" too by the way.

You'll leave town when Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan tell you to.

Now go find some more Democrats to throw under the bus while you and the DNC grasp onto the "moral high ground"
