House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Democrats are threatening to oppose a budget deal to fund the federal government unless House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) commits to allowing a vote on amnesty legislation. In a more than hour-long filibuster on the House floor, Pelosi is speaking live to demand a vote on amnesty or else the Democrat caucus will not support legislation to fund the federal government.
During a part of her filibuster, Pelosi said Congress had a “moral responsibility” to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“As members of Congress, we have a moral responsibility to act now to protect DREAMers who are the pride of our nation and are American in every way, but on paper,” Pelosi said of the illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for Obama’s DACA program.
Pelosi’s filibuster comes as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are set to strike a budget deal in the Senate to fund the federal government that does not include an amnesty for DACA illegal aliens.

... not sure it’s a filibuster in the House ... the Senate has a rule that a vote must be taken to limit debate, a long speech prior to, or precipitating such a vote to posture would be the popularly referenced filibuster. In the House it would be more aptly described as an hour-long speech that ended when her time was expired ... So she talked for an hour, then sat down, right?
Wow, what a message to the youth and young adults of our nation! One of the major leaders of the Democrat party just dissed a major section of our population.
I thought that in some places the numbers were >100%.
Probably why Pelosi mentioned DACA. That perp is too old to be a Dreamer.
“Nancy Pelosi Filibusters for Amnesty: DACA Illegal Aliens ‘Are The Pride of Our Nation’”
There are Democrats I’ve heard of that are said to be sane. I’d like to see some.
She’s idiotic. The senate filibusters. Can’t do that in the house.
The “pride of our nation” aren’t eligible to vote??
A sure sign that Dems will help pass a bill without a DACA fix.
That’s Kabuki!
It is not a filibuster if all she does is move her dentures around in her mouth.
They’re THE SCOURGE of our nation, nan.

That’s a new one...
I was going to say, I REALLY hope this is the Democrat election strategy going forward. Really!
She's got dementia. Watch some speech or appearance by her from 20 years ago. No comparison, she's all drifty, repetitive, and unfocused
Nor is she alone. Hillary Clinton, in chewing over her interpretation of the election, is coming across as mentally ill, too.
I don’t know why the democrat party lets her open her mouth in public. She’s demented. I’m glad they do though.
Total bs, the american people are our pride, not a bunch of illegals
