McCarthy: ‘No deadline on DACA’
By Mike Lillis - 01/16/18 09:16 PM EST
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that a recent court decision in favor of “Dreamers†has greatly reduced the pressure on GOP leaders to pass legislation related to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“There is no deadline on DACA,†McCarthy said as he left a meeting of the House Republican conference in the Capitol basement on Tuesday night.
Some lawmakers –– including at least one Republican, Rep. Carlos Curbelo (Fla.) –– are threatening to oppose a short-term spending bill this week over the exclusion of a legislative fix to DACA, an Obama-era program which President Trump announced last year that he would rescind.
