Democratic leaders in both chambers of Congress have signaled that Democrats are open to pursuing a bill for the DACA program before the new session of Congress starts in January.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., mentioned addressing DACA as a top priority in the lame-duck session during a Democratic caucus meeting Tuesday, a senior Democratic aide told NBC News.
“It’s a long-shot but it’s still worth pursuing,” Durbin, the Democratic Senate whip, told reporters.During a news conference Tuesday, Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., who serves as vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, confirmed the issue was a priority for House Democrats. Aguilar noted that Democrats will need the required 10 GOP votes in the Senate to move forward with legislation. He expressed confidence that a group of Senate Democrats, including Durbin, are working to gain the Republican votes needed in the upper chamber.
Federal courts are expected to end the 2012 executive order known as DACA that has protected young immigrants at risk of losing their work authorization and security from deportation sometime early next year. Congressional Republicans have state their opposition to protecting Dreamers, unless Democrats make the unlikely move of making significant concessions to increase security at the border and reject asylum-seekers.
