The right is standing firm on reforming immigration, ending chain migration
No, a solution on DACA is not going to be part of a bill to keep the government running. Why would it?
Opinions from the right:
1. Shut it down
From Townhall: Why is the left willing to hurt American citizens by shutting down the government in favor of the issues of non-citizens?
Government Funding Bill past last night in the House of Representatives. Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate - but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!

2. Any DACA deal must end chain migration
From Sens. Tom Cotton, (R-Ark.), David Perdue, (R-Ga.), and Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa): A bad immigration bill that doesn’t address chain migration would do more harm than good.

3. Trump should stand his ground on immigration
From columnist Andy Schlafly: The Securing America’s Future Act is one both parties should be able to get behind.
