They did not defund planned parenthood. They definitely dont want to build a border wall. But now almost ten months into the republican congress, Top Republicans on capitol hill have finally found an issue they can really rally around. Preserving President Obamas immigration policy. The Trump Administration has announced that next tuesday will decide the fate of daca, the Obama Era Program which apparently illegally gives work permits to Illegal Immigrants who arrived in the country as children. Killing that program would fulfill one of the term campaigns promise. It would also fit with the republican partys stated position against amnesty and in favor of enforcing the law rather than granting politicized immunity. Scrambling to preserve daca. This morning in a radio interview, Speaker Paul Ryan begged the president to keep the program in place until congress can pass a bill granting amnesty to the Illegal Immigrants daca covers. I actually dont think you should do that. I believe that
Bill. It would be limited to repealing the obamacare is of individual and employer mandates and the medical device tax. The measure would go to conference to cut a deal with the house. After the procedural vote, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell pledged to keep working to get there and noted democrats doug two struggled with passing obamacare. We watched a similar process seven years ago. They had a lot of differences. We are going to sort this out with a so thoroughly open amendment process and a situation where 51 votes can change the bill. This democratic leader tried to convince moderate republicans to oppose this effort. Dont be fooled by this ruse. A vote in favor of the motion to proceed will mean deep cuts to medicaid, it may be even deeper than in the house bill. It wont be an easy lift going forward, but leadership was able to get past the first hurdle and has an opportunity to keep working at it to keep a Campaign Promise going back
