Lawmakers, facing a growing list of crises, may not have the bandwidth to help DACA recipients — especially in an election year

In what is already one of the most turbulent years in Washington, Congress could soon be staring down another crisis — the possible deportation of 700,000 Dreamers.

Sen. Dick Durbin , who has long advocated immigration reform, predicted Congress would do nothing if the high court struck down the program. That would make hundreds of thousands of people in the DACA program subject to deportation if the White House and Trump don’t step in. The Supreme Court could leave Congress with a wide range of options. It could overturn the protections for “Dreamers” immediately, phase it out over time, or perhaps require additional regulatory steps from the Trump administration.If the court sends the issue back to Congress to fix with a deadline, many lawmakers say it could actually force party leaders to come to the table.

“I have learned in my time in Congress, Congress always does best when there’s a deadline,” added retiring Rep. Will Hurd , a centrist House Republican who hasif the court does knock out DACA. Recent pollingshowed that 85 percent of people support allowing immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to stay, including 73 percent of Republicans.

“I don’t think you’re going to get comprehensive immigration reform, but I think there’s a ‘mini-deal’ to be had and people are looking for outcomes,” Graham said, who has not recently spoken to the White House about the issue. “I’m hoping we sit down with the president and find a mini-package ... I’m willing to try, but it’s going to take everybody else willing to try and time will tell.

There needs to be a multi generational study to understand this completely.

1. If Congress and past President's had reformed the legal process decades ago we wouldn't have this problem. 2. We shouldn't send anyone back to their country of origan unless they're a criminal. 3. Yes they are here illegally, close the border above & below ground & deal w/it

No deals until after the election. He owns it, let him deal with the hand that he dealt himself. He loses. A win. He wins, we all lose.

they allowed green card lotteries n endless fam union from HK n China but for 12mils Latinos they never got anywhere

This is a big country, we have room, let them in, let them pay taxes and help with govt programs. Every one here comes from an immigrant lineage. Our forefathers practically had British accents

Sorry DACA...gotta put you on the back burner. Your lives don't matter right now because the BLM/Antifa terrorists have a good thing going causing chaos that will possibly help with dems' UNLAWFUL and power-hungry agenda.

Almost makes you regret not making that deal with Trump when he offered DACA for the wall, because he is still getting the wall.
