Are holding the government funding hostage to resolving daca. theres an argument for that. on the other hand, the president is holding resolving daca hostage not only to board. er security, but to an issue thats very different. reductions in the level of legal immigration. its important to understand thats the biggest hangup at this point. certainly in the senate on resolving daca because you have had them move significantly toward the president saying they would be willing to put more money int...
