Expires in a few weeks, and it's not looking like anything will save them out of congress.
There was 60 votes in the senate as late as a few days ago for a bipartisan bill. But Trump and them torpedoed it. They made the environment toxic for repubs that previously supported it to stay on board. Three Dems voted against it, but it would have failed anyways (54 for and 45 against)
Trump wants hella cuts for legal immigration and his wall. But his proposal couldn't even get a bunch of republicans on board (it fell 39 for and 60 against)
This was sneaky McConnell's plan all along. He doesn't want any protections for the DACA folks, but he wants to give the appearance that he tried. I saw this coming a mile away.
McConnell: "Everyone agrees I held up my end of the bargain." "When the hour came to actually make law, instead of just making political points, our friends across the aisle were either unable or unwilling to get something done.”
