I miean, it was a key element w were pushing for. we werent able to get it into the short-term c.r. i think the important thing is the leverage we think we have when it comes to an ultimate deal on the budget, and were going to be coming back to that in january, we still have that leverage. i think were still going to press to make sure that the daca situation is addressed. as you say, these are young people who came here, they didnt make the decision to come, but once they were here, they took ...
