It takes away the game.....there are many things that they love to talk about but never make it real. Because it is a talking point to get voters energized.
Not exactly. Anything that goes before Congress becomes record. Many fear consequences either way they decide. Amnesty may be popular in media but will support for it allow many to keep their seats? Not so much strategy as it is fear and political survival.

This is the same group of already-wealthy people who have the legal ability to vote on their own pay raises yearly at taxpayer expense and have always voted affirmatively, and who also take extended "vacations" while important legislation festers. Deciding on DACA is apparently a low priority. --

He needs a bill to not only endorse but a bill he can sign. Up to Congress to do it right and stop hiding behind a president.
