Here is an examination of the House "fix" on DACA. It is - in a word - absurd. The idea of any fix to this issue would basically allow DREAMers to stay here and expedite their way to citizenship. How they do that can be negotiated, but that's the only acceptable fix.
Lindsey Graham is beefing with the White House over Stephen Miller's role in this debate. Graham called Miller an outlier on the issue, which earned a toddler's response from the White House of "no, you're the outlier!" Graham is right that within the context of American politics, Miller is the outlier. The White House is right that within the context of right wing politics, Graham is the outlier.
It is telling that the White House defines what is acceptable exclusively within the Alt Reich echo chamber.
This is why it's so hard to see a reasonable conclusion to this issue. Perhaps they come up with a CR for two weeks. What fundamentally changes from now to then? And if I'm Senate Democrats, why would I put it off for another two weeks? If I'm voting for a CR, I want something. CHIP funding for six years, for starters. Take CHIP off the table as a bargain...er..chip before the next round of Dancing With Racists comes around on February 8th. You have to start whittling down the number of child hostages that these lunatics can keep threatening.
