I think we will pass a clean bill here. and I think it will be overwhelmingly positive and bipartisan. What is the issue that is sticking in their craw over there that troubles them so much that the House Republicans would jeopardize funding the agency assigned to keep America safe? It is the issue of immigration. particularly Executive orders issued by the President. One particular part just absolutely gnaws at them as they think about the possibility the Presidents order of 2012the socalled DACA orderwill be carried out in the future. What is that order? It is an order which said: If someone was brought to the United States as a childan infant. a toddler. a small childundocumented. and they went to school in this country and they have no criminal record. we are going to give them a chance to stay here and not be subject to deportation. They can go to school here. they can work here. and they are protected by the Presidents Executive orderthe socalled DACA. The Republicans in the House hate this idea like the devil hates holy water. They cant understand why these young people who had no wrongdoing in coming to this country should be given this chance. and they are prepared to shut down the Department of Homeland Security if we dont relent.
