I'd like to know more about that agreement because I'm unclear how that works for McConnell. If McConnell can't get Dems to flip, Trump's Senate bill is DOA without need to pass to the house. If the Senate votes on the House bill, then either the Senate takes more heat (flipping from prior unanimity) or else Trump needs to veto (leaving blame with him) and the Senate (if they at that point don't veto-proof it). Seems like only downside.
Yeah I haven't seen anything else about it from the normal congressional reporters.
That's pretty much what the guy I know said. Although his indicated he's sliding into a massive hole of anxiety and depression.
Sorry to hear. I feel the same way. Have other things going on in my life with my children and ex-wife which doesn't help. The last couple of years have been hell. There is no sense of normalcy anywhere.

Plus it gives Trump a chance to move the goalposts. "I said that I was happy to own the previous shutdown, but this new shutdown is TOTALLY the Democrats' fault!"
I should promise my kids a trip to Disney or something over Spring Break since I'll have an easy out.
Not at all. It's what I expect.
I dont blame you for worrying about it. Hell, I wonder during takeoff what would happen if we fly through a bunch of geese or something. Its obviously a high risk method of travel.
Man, we are getting way off topic but that must have been a rush landing that plane! Most of the airports dont have any water near it
This is not correct. A criminal is someone who commits a crime. Being illegally present in the United States is not a crime, although there are some proposals to make it one. As with getting a parking ticket, overstaying a visa is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. That’s why people accused of those things aren’t entitled to jury trials or other constitutional protections afforded to criminal defendants.
Thank you. I appreciate the distinction.
I mostly just wanted to nitpick. I believe the rest of your post stated that you support DACA. I don't have anything to add to that except that I agree with you.
Your point is that we need to reconcile two viewpoints to resolve the DACA issue.
Just to piggyback, anyone who entered while a minor is also highly unlikely to be a criminal because he or she is unable to form the basic building blocks of intent under current jurisprudence.
That's been the best part of this shutdown the whole time. The irony of shutting down a sizable portion of the government deemed necessary to protect this country over allegedly protecting this country is #### you just can't make up if you tried.
Serious question. How do we handle the cases of murder by people here illegally? Seems like they are afforded Constitutional protections similar to American citizens.
Yes, murder is a crime, so we try them and (if guilty) hopefully convict them and lock them up.
This is an awesome response because you did exactly what I was asking opponents of DACA (mainly far-right conservatives, Trump, etc.) to do - which is attempt to understand fundamentally what was driving the resistance from the other side.
I'm not sure what you are asking?
"Sir, negative, sir!!! Sir, the private believes that any answer he gives will be wrong! And the Senior Drill Instructor will beat him harder if he reverses himself, sir!"
Notice that TSA, Coast Guard, and most federal workers do not publicly take political sides.
Federal employees aren’t allowed to use their position or title to engage in political activity.
