DACA and Budget Bill.
Hours before the spending deadline, Senate leaders reached a budget agreement. The deal clears the way for a vote on both chambers, amid a heated debate from fiscal conservatives, who question the increase in public spending, and progressive Democrats, who oppose the lack of a plan to deal with DACA. Republican leaders from both chambers claim they are committed to open immigration reform for a debate in the near future.
Guests: Hector Barreto, Chairman, The Latino Coalition, Los Angeles, CA; Congressman Raúl Grijalva, D-AZ, Washington, D.C.; Ignacia Rodriguez, Immigration Policy Advocate, National Immigration Law Center (NILC), Los Angeles, CA; Audio Cuts of House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan and Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Washington, DC.
