    Only about 2 weeks for Schumer to come to his senses.

    The end of DACA is now only a few day off. Will Schumer cave and compromise.

    Here's what's in it

    • Provide a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers. The bill would allow immigrants who entered the US before they turned 18 (and before June 15, 2012), and who were younger than 39 as of June 15, 2012, to apply for legal status. That’s a broader population than the 690,000 young undocumented immigrants protected under the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) program (which only covered immigrants who entered the US before they were 16, and who were younger than 31); press reports estimated the eligible population at 1.8 million immigrants, though it’s almost certain that not all of those would apply and be accepted. Immigrants would be ineligible if they had certain criminal convictions and would have to pay back taxes. They’d be eligible for citizenship in as little as 12 years, though even after becoming citizens, they wouldn’t be able to sponsor their parents (though the bill wouldn’t bar their parents from getting some other form of legal status).
    • Prevent green card holders from sponsoring their adult children to immigrate to the US. The bill would get rid of the F-2B category of family-based visas, which are used for the unmarried adult children of green card holders. (An estimated 26,266 of those visas go out every year.) People with pending applications for those visas could still get them. After they were processed, the 26,266 annual visas would instead go to spouses and minor children of green card holders. But immigrants would still be able to sponsor their adult children to immigrate once they became US citizens.
    • $25 billion for the wall and other stuff at the border.
      • The bill would appropriate $25 billion to the Department of Homeland Security for border infrastructure (including “the construction of physical barriers”) and technology. That money would be doled out at the rate of $2.5 billion a year for the next 10 years — with specific instructions for how it should be spent in 2018. It would require DHS to submit detailed plans to Congress of how it planned to spend the money each year, and to meet 75 percent of the goals it set each year in order to get the next year’s money.
      • Tells ICE not to focus on unauthorized immigrants living in the US without criminal records. The bill would codify “enforcement priorities” for the Department of Homeland Security (including Immigration and Customs Enforcement). It would tell agents to focus on immigrants convicted of felonies, and those who enter the US after January 1, 2018. This would be the first time since the establishment of ICE as an independent agency in 2003 that a law would dictate whom agents should focus on, and would put much stricter restrictions on ICE than the ones agents chafed under during the Obama administration (and which Trump famously removed while in office). It wouldn’t prohibit ICE from deporting unauthorized immigrants without criminal records who’ve lived in the US for a while, but it would, at least in theory, push those immigrants way down on the enforcement agenda.

    Again I ask...what exactly would it take to renew DACA. The above gives you the wall AND restrictions on sponsoring others
