Up for discussion and I guess maybe voting next week. GOPers are not to be trusted tho, but again, that was one of the agreements of the bill being passed.

Being the minority party in the USA's government (WH and congress) is quite difficult especially when the majority party do not believe in democrary.

Republicans are going to focus on pleasing their base and their donors - the most vocal of which want all of the Dreamers deported.

Senate Democrats may be able to force McYurtle to hold a vote in the Upper Chamber, where it has a good chance of passing, but Ryan (who has previously said he'll only allow a vote on a measure acceptable to Trump...hello, border wall and goodbye, family reunification!) will simply sit on it. And Democrats just gave up the last leverage they had to force his hand, at least until DACA has already expired and the deportations have begun.
