HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH)– Congress has until midnight Friday, to strike a deal on a host of issues before government funding is set to run out.

At the heart of it, nearly 800,000 undocumented young immigrants. That’s why dozens of Connecticut Dreamers are on their way to the nation’s capitol Tuesday morning.

They’re message to Congress is to pass the Dream Act.

Republicans and Democrats both want to lift spending caps, which limit the amount of money the government can spend without adding to the deficit.

Democrats say in order for them to support the republicans’ spending plan, they must include a legislative fix to help thousands of Dreamers.

Because leadership is acceding to 800,000 kids flipping you off while demanding you do what they want.

I'd love to see what would happen if “dreamers” living in Bridgeport (a true $hithole) were to move a few miles down I-95 to Greenwich and Darien.

My dream is that each and every one of those dreamers visiting DC are picked up and immediately deported to their sh*thole of origin. Oh well, disappointed again.

Linda Graham needs to re-acquaint himself with the fact that over 62 MILLION voting Americans have a larger say about DACA than Little Linda Graham does.
