Dem leaders pull back from hard-line immigration demand

[TalkRadio]

Democratic leaders are backing off of their demand that Dreamer protections be a part of the 2018 budget negotiations.

While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders had hinged their support for last month’s budget caps deal on a commitment from Republicans to consider legislation salvaging the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, they’ve signaled they won’t hold a similar line heading into next week’s expected vote on an omnibus spending bill.

Democratic leaders have kept the rhetorical heat on Republicans to stage a DACA vote, using every opportunity to press Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to bring the issue to the floor. But after Senate Democrats were blamed for a brief government shutdown over DACA in January — and with Republicans likely needing scores of Democratic votes to pass the omnibus — House leaders are not insisting that such a commitment accompany the 2018 spending package.

More proof that they want to own the issue instead of solving the problem.

The Republicans offered them what they wanted, as they did with the DACA fix. Now thanks to the Omnibus spending bill, 2019 Obama premiums are going to skyrocket again. The Democrats want people to feel pain while they mindlessly blame Republicans for whatever ails you.
