It's our job to pur pressure on Senate Dems now. CHIP is done. It's an immigration fight now. sharedvalues Jan 2018 #75

Both. Call Dems and tell them to talk about American immigration and our values. sharedvalues Jan 2018 #84

Sorry, but the "we don't have to do anything for you, you've got nowhere else to go"... regnaD kciN Jan 2018 #11

And you see this sentiment jl_theprofessor Jan 2018 #13

That is NOT the sentiment I was expressing. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #18

Ask the Puerto Ricans..... SergeStorms Jan 2018 #15

I understand your position. SergeStorms Jan 2018 #39

That is a misleading headline. Dems have not dropped their Dreamer demand. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #19

That's not what the article says... regnaD kciN Jan 2018 #23
