Connecticut Dreamers head to Washington to urge Congress to pass Dream Act

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.

Headlines tomorrow should read: "The Dozen-Man March". Washington needs to prepare -- they may have to bring in an extra porta-potty.

[My computer tried to correct that to "sorta-potty".]

Sounds like a class action lawsuit, take one take all. NO Dreamers, NO DACA!

Remember that old song CONNECTICUT DREAMING by the Mama’s and the Papa’s?
Great harmonies.

CNN: Democrats, don't let Trump's bad words kill DACA deal

This seems to be saying that Trump shouldn't have said sh**hole or whatever he said, but Dems should try to get a deal for DACA because, as Rand Paul said, "You can't have an immigration compromise if everybody is out there calling the President a racist."

Of course Schumer, Pelosi, etc. are going to pretend they hold all the cards. Fake News awards tomorrow.

WTNH.com Staff" "They’re message to Congress is to pass the Dream Act."

WTNH just blew whatever remaining shred of credibility they had.

Reading terminated...
