The dream act provides protection for undocumented immigrants who came here as young children. Republica tackle the issue separately from any spending measure next year. Leon . Republicans and democrats need to agree on a spending bill by friday if they want to keep the government open. And one of the main negotiating chips is those 700,000 Daca Recipients. Now, President Trump said that he would end daca in march if congress didnt act. Democrats would include new legislation and a spending bill to keep the government open while the gop wants to handle 9 issue separately. But the big question is what happens to the dreamers. And both parties have different ideas about the path forward. Now, democrats, they want all Daca Recipients to become legal permanent residents who can apply for citizenship after five years. Republicans, though, they want to be less lenient and they are floating a few options of their own. They want dreamers to have to wait 10 or 15 years before they become citizens. And one plan just extends daca without providing any path to citizenship. Now, in order to strike a deal, the gop is demanding immigration. The white house wants a border wall and all republicans are calling for more judges, jails and i. C. E. Agents to deal with immigrants. If congress does nothing but march, Daca Recipients lose their protections and i. C. E. Can deport them. Although agents say that they are not targeting dreamers as their first priority.
