Guess who does NOT want a DACA solution?

If you guessed Nancy then move to the head of the class. She wants nothing of the sort. Nancy has made it clear that she will not deal, negotiate or engage in any DACA agreements with republicans. None. It is her way or the highway. 100 percent in it’s entirety. Why would she use people as political pawns? Because she can. She couldn’t care less what happens to them as long as she can point fingers at republicans. For her to immediately announce that there will be no DACA deal before speaking to any republican, is despicable.

There’s no reason to deal on this issue. It’s widely popular, and Democrats don’t need to make any concessions in order to get it passed. If Republicans want to be seen as obstructions on this issue, it’s going to hurt them at the ballot box.

Democrats just want a clean DACA bill. America wants that too.

What kind of “deal” were you looking for?

I’m not looking for a deal. Nobody in congress cares about what Altair wants. I am looking for congress to work together and negotiate something reasonable rather than dig in and refuse to do anything.

You provided no link, context, or even a quote of what Nancy said, so there’s really no way to discuss the subject.

There’s probably a reason why none of that was provided in the OP.

Work together to do what?

What was wrong with DACA?

What Nancy Pelosi, likely Speaker of the House come January, has actually stated as her plan for DACA in the New Congress: > Washington, D.C. – Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi released this statement reaffirming the House Democratic Majority’s commitment to addressing critical immigration issues in the new Congress, following a letter from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus:

“America draws strength from our long, proud heritage as a nation of immigrants. In the Majority, Democrats will work to reverse the Republicans’ destructive anti-immigrant agenda.

“Our House Democratic Majority will once again pass the Dream Act to end the uncertainty and fear inflicted on patriotic young men and women across the country. We will protect TPS recipients and those fleeing unimaginable violence. And we will hold the Trump Administration accountable for their inhuman policy of separating families, and the trauma and anguish they have inflicted on vulnerable children and families at our border.

“Of course, we will meet our responsibility to provide strong, smart border security that serves our country’s needs, is consistent with our values, and doesn’t squander billions of dollars on a border wall.

“Democrats know that immigrants, with their courage, optimism and determination to make the future better for their families, make America more American. We will continue to work every day to ensure the American Dream remains in reach for everyone.”

Seems to me the OP has been sold a lie about Nancy Pelosi’s desires on DACA.

America wants a clean DACA bill. Nancy Pelosi plans to make that happen. I’m not sure why Republicans aren’t on board with this popular piece of legislation.

There was a reason.

So the OP could argue a false claim using alternative facts.

Elections have consequences. Republicans will no longer be able to block popular legislation in the House. They probably will still do it in the Senate.

Paul Ryan didn’t discuss a deal regarding tax reform with any dems.

He had the votes.

When you have the votes why deal with the minority.?

Politics 101.

Trumplicans want to muddy up a clean DACA Bill with a lunatics demand for Taxpayers to build his “big beautiful wall” at an unknown cost of untold Billions of dollars.

They want to do that instead of providing specific border security funding as needed and as designed for the needs of the CPB being directed by the DHS.

Trumplicans are insisting that a memorial to Trumpism be funded “or else” they likely won’t get on board for any form of Democrat introduced immigration reform.t

If Fat Donald and his Trumplican friends in Congress want to build that “big beautiful wall” of Donald then he should get a check from the President of Mexico to pay for it then let the wall be built, as he promised.

My pleasure!

I mean, they did that earlier in the year, and Trump said said no.

Nancy isn’t doing that and or hasn’t stated that she will refuse to do anything.

Lets vote on a clean border security bill first. And once all that is in the bill is done than we will vote on a DACA bill. Why should we vote to give you what you want when nothing will change by doing nothing on DACA. And the majority of the people want something done about the border so this never happens again. There is no reason to deal on this issue. The left will be seen as not wanting to do anything to secure our border and this will hurt them at the ballot box.
Republicans want a clean border security bill and America wants that too.

Right now, there is no deal to legalize anybody who was brought here as a young child and knows no other country. Both parties need to work something out. Don’t you agree?

That’s not going to happen. The republicans have had two years to do this. Do you think they are going to do it in their last two weeks? They are not innocent either.
