The Senate rejected legislation based on President Trump's framework for an immigration deal in a 39-60 vote on Thursday, leaving an uncertain path forward for Congress with nearly a million immigrants sheltered by an Obama-era program facing the prospect of deportation.

The measure spearheaded by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) needed 60 votes to clear a filibuster, but failed to meet the mark.

It was the fourth proposal in a row rejected by the Senate on Thursday afternoon, and it received the fewest votes of support. All three other measures won more than 50 votes.

The Grassley measure provided a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. Many of these people could face deportation beginning in March as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is scaled back, though court rulings are complicating that matter.

Let's see what that gutless jackass has to say March 5th.

5. careful

If you're referring to the recent preliminary injunction, it's not a perfect shield.

See page 7 of the pdf, beginning "The court makes clear, however, what this order is not.":

2. What twitler will say is

the Dems are to blame, they weren't serious about his magnificent generous offer for the Dreamers. They're for crime, open borders, and putting foreigners before Americans (which would be ridiculously ironic), they shut down the government to hurt American people, etc etc etc.

The Orange Clown does not want a DACA deal.
He does not want an Immigration Bill.
He wants to ban Muslims.
He wants a Deportation Force.
He wants a stupid southern border wall.
He wants to prevent future Immigration.
