There is a path to citizenship, not a 'poof', in the bi-partisan proposal which both Republican and Democratic congresspersons have been working on forever.
Trump said he would sign any such proposal put in front of him because he cares very much about the DACA kids. After fall-out from immigration hard-liners, however, he reneged shortly thereafter and said he wouldn't sign anything that didn't include wall funding.
McConnell then made a public statement saying they couldn't put anything forward until they understood what Trump REALLY wants.
As far as what's going on now with a potential government shutdown, both parties and the President are playing the blame game and flinging shit.
Well, the Republicans will keep the government open with a temporary measure. A pardon by the government for the DACA recipient's that was originally a temporary fix will require that the borders be secured to prevent future "DACA's" from getting into the country. It only makes sense. You cannot just put a bucket under a dripping faucet and call it "fixed" which is exactly what the Dems want to do.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
