As the Senate voted 97-1 on Monday to move past the first procedural hurdle in the way of an immigration debate on the Senate floor, Republican Senators made clear they were not interested in a lengthy debate on DACA, as they pressed Democrats to simply accept a plan offered by President Donald Trump on illegal immigrant Dreamers, arguing no other measure would get through the U.S. House and garner the President’s support.
“The President’s framework is not an opening bid in negotiations, it is a best and final offer,†said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), as a group of GOP Senators – backed by their Senate leadership – argued for a quick resolution on DACA.
