Which has nothing to do with the current inability of the Republicans to pass a budget or even a continuing resolution. The Republicans can pass a bill anytime, w/o DACA and w/o Democrats. Yet, they want the Dems to bail their fool asses out and now are trying to blame the Dems for their own incompetence and mean-spirited stupidity.Worse, there are legal immigrant dreamers, people on work visas who brought their kids to this country. There's no DACA for their kids. When they reach 21 they either get a visa themselves or deported. If they get a visa, they then have to join a decades long queue.
Stupid legal immigrants for following the rules, just show up illegal and you'll get a path to citizenship on a platter.

They can change the 60 vote requirement and have done so in the past any time it suited the Republican leadership. This is 100% a Republican problem. The party is incapable of governing.I don't get your point; They need 60 votes to pass this budget, if they could with 51 why would there by a threat of a shutdown?
It's different here than in your country.The Republicans control the presidency and both houses of congress. The Republicans are blocking themselves.
The Republicans want to fund CHIP for 6 years, the Democrats refuse.Not like the Republicans aren't using the CHIP funding as a shield on this. Both sides are playing politics but Trump's actions have largely forced this outcome.
I agree that employers need their asses nailed to the wall and held liable for the social costs of illegal labor.The biggest problem is they refuse to prosecute businesses and people that employ illegal immigrants

Explain it to Trump. His tweet scuttled that plan.The Republicans want to fund CHIP for 6 years, the Democrats refuse.

I agree, CHIP should be a stand alone measure. As should DACA, but that is not the way things are done in the swamp.To turn around the "DACA shouldn't be on the CR" argument CHIP could have very easily been funded as a stand alone measure months ago. The reason it's on the CR is purely political so arguments that the CR shouldn't be political from Rs are entirely disingenuous.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/s...17-trump-judicial-nominations/article/2646334Republicans can't even perform basic government functions, despite having full control.
I'm not understanding the mental acrobats required to believe any thing else. Is it ONLY because they don't know how to blame their own party?

It would make the current population less exploitable and also perhaps less employable if we do nothing to prevent a subsequent wave of exploitable labor.So, will not granting them legal status make them more exploitable, or less?
Indeed. It's repulsive.The cry of the modern reactionary: *Everything* is *always* *someone else's* fault.
Republicans, disingenuous? You don't say.To turn around the "DACA shouldn't be on the CR" argument CHIP could have very easily been funded as a stand alone measure months ago.

Looks like they tried thatThey can change the 60 vote requirement and have done so in the past any time it suited the Republican leadership. This is 100% a Republican problem. The party is incapable of governing.
