Hill leaders saying they won’t vote on Gang of Six DACA fix/border bill because POTUS won’t sign it. That’s a new standard for congressional action: only vote on what the White House allows Congress to vote on.

Ryan and McConnell say they won't allow a vote on a DACA/border bill because Trump won't sign it. Why not have the debate and vote, see what the numbers are and then let him veto or not? It's called the legislative process and it's what Congress did when it was a co-equal branch.

ALERT: House Republicans are now taking CHIP hostage by adding it to a funding bill without DACA. CHIP could easily pass separately, but they're playing kids against Dreamers.
