Wall vs. DACA
“No wall,” said Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California. “Listen, I believe in border security. I think it’s very important that we have a secure border, but spending billions and billions of dollars on this wall because of a political promise and a campaign promise is ridiculous.”
The desire to use the wall funding to help secure DACA wasn’t on everyone’s mind. This was clear as Harris said “no wall.”
“I think this is going to be the flexion point where we get some things done or we don’t,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger.
Both sides want a deal, but will both benefit?
“Seems to me that Democrats are holding that deal hostage for a DACA negotiation and we are meeting at the White House tomorrow on a bipartisan basis with the President to see what that might look like,” said John Cornyn. “But I think that’s going to make the January 19 date pretty hard to hit.”
With just a few days left, the pressure was on, we just have to see how it all goes.
