Best post of the thread!

If Congress fails, they can’t blame Trump.Yep, and it can't pass without the help of Republicans AKA RINOs exposing themselves before the next election as amnesty whores. And if it's not a clean bill (they never are) it better be veto proof.

DACA push, an interesting follow-on to 3 month extension of debt ceiling deadline.
