    This is an important point. The courts just removed the urgency for fixing #DACA. And this, in turn, undermines the Dems primary motive for a shutdown.https://twitter.com/billscher/status/954174545249828865 …

    Based on what I'm seeing on Twitter, a surprisingly number of prominent people don't seem to know that DACA is currently active and DHS is accepting applications for 2-year permit renewals

        I'm an independent. I'm so sick of this partisan bs. Each side has demands and they need to work together to find a compromise. Since the Dems are in the minority, I don't blame them for using a potential shutdown as leverage.

        But the GOP doesn't need any Dems. You might say they need 60 votes in the senate, but it only takes 51 votes to eliminate that rule. So this still rests totally on the shoulders of the GOP.

        WH is fighting the DACA app decision, which means they'll also sabotage/slow-walk any renewals that come in. Worried every day that you may have to leave your life and move to a foreign country, subject to the shifting whims of politicians, still seems urgent to me.

        CHIP? The Supreme Court case filed today? You can't blame this mess on the democrats They just voted for cloture. The GOP control the majority so pass the damn bill.

        This is dangerous and wrong. 16,000+ already have lost DACA since September. On average, 122 are losing DACA each day. USCIS accepting applications didn't magically restore their protections from deportation and work authorization. DM me before you cause more harm.

        This is dishonest. Trump wants them gone and we all know it. No matter how many times you say they are accepting applications, it doesn't change that. Rs own this as the promise in December was broken already.

        And didn't Trump sell himself as the ultimate deal maker. He said he could make great deals. Where is he in all this? Oh, he just flew to Mar-A-Largo.

        It could be halted again at any moment, there is a lot of urgency. It’s also really neat of you to say that while your whole life as you’ve always known it doesn’t hang in the balance. These are actual people who need their situation resolved, as promised.

        Matt, the Dem point here is that Republicans cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith. How on earth can we believe a word that comes out of Ryan’s and/or McConnell’s mouths? No. This matter needs to be resolved NOW. Enough with the shenanigans!

        As you forgot to mention, the DOJ, headed by the top racist, just appealed 9th circuit and ask SCOTUS to help them rip DACA apart. But hey why should facts matter to a journalist?

        It doesn't matter what the Dems motives are - they aren't in charge of anything. GOP controls entire federal government. If they want to shut it down, it shuts down. If they want to fund it, it gets funded.
