Young, undocumented immigrants. The Trump Administration is ending the daca. On the other hand, there are dissent talks that are loath to create another shortterm patch from the pentagon. They say it hurts military readiness. And then you always have fiscal concerns with the spending bills. The chip deadline is in march. And the dreamers debate has been inflamed over the past couple of days. How does all of that play into this debate . Democrats are saying they will not vote for another spending bill unless there is something in place for the dreamers. There is a complexity issue and the controversy of president trumps remarks. If there is some measurable progress for how democrats will come on board but right now they see no advantage to simply helping republicans keep the government open. Host; this is the fourth cr for this congress . Christina it is, since the september. There were two in december alone. Defense hawks are very frustrated. It is not responsible governing to justify

Dhs is complying with the court order. We have begun to accept renewals for daca.

Live coverage here on cspan. Thank you for coming. What we have assembled today is a Diverse Group of senators from both sides of the aisle who are organizing together to filibuster the fisa bill.
