Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Jan. 25 voiced support for President Trump’s suggestion that an immigration deal include a pathway to citizenship for some “dreamers.” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) In the days following the introduction of this DACA extension, I’ll be on the floor to offer a unanimous-consent request for an up-or-down vote.
