37. That would be Plan A

But there are numerous Plan B options that can and will be tried. We will not see a "clean" DACA emerge from the legislative process, especially given the fact that the Republicons hold majorities in both sides of Congress.

It's time to start thinking about what we can live with, and what we absolutely cannot. And if the answer to that question is, "Nothing!" then we can expect that DACA will die because no legislative solution was reached.

Me, I can easily live with something that says, "No e-Verify, no deduction for wages as a business expense." It attacks the problem from the supply side.
