people who are on temporary protective status, el salvadorans, 200,000 could be deported. this compromise measure that durbin, graham measure would address both of these concerns. but you know, it s been tough. but nonetheless, there is a bipartisan deal and i m glad that you reminded everybody that it is the president who said maybe we need a good government shutdown so i can have my wall. well, the idea is that democrats if there s a shutdown that the white house is basically trying to set the terms that the democrats are responsible. and at one level, it would be, the democrats in the senate would have to hold enough votes withhold enough votes to hold the line to not pass something that doesn t have daca protections. you have joe manchin saying something like i think everyone has the empathy and compassion. shutting down the government s not going to help them.
