The shift comes in response to the deal struck between Senate leaders Monday to reopen the government and begin debate on an immigration bill next month. Meanwhile, budget negotiators are expressing optimism that a two-year agreement to lift stiff caps on defense and domestic spending is increasingly within reach. Were viewing [immigration and spending] on separate terms because they are on separate paths, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Tuesday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnells procedural concession means weve got a deadline and a process, Durbin added. That to me is a significant step forward. Its not everything I wanted, thats for sure, but its a step forward.

DarkTransient 01/25/18 6:45:47 AM #8:	The whole thing of not budging on it was a publicity stunt in the first place. Unfortunately, it backfired even among many of their diehard supporters, with most realising the Democrats, and the Democrats alone, were to blame for the shutdown. Continuing it instead of backing down, like they should have in the first place given that DACA was not a budget issue, would have pretty much been political suicide. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:894762943] in Senate Dem...

No, DACA doesn't give them legality. It gave them a temporary reprieve from deportation (that's why it literally stands for "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals"), with the idea being that they'd either work to become legal citizens (which they didn't) or Congress would find a way to give them a path to citizenship (which they didn't).
