Thursday at her weekly news conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said shh was “optimistic that we will celebrate hopefully Thanksgiving, but more likely Christmas, with a DREAM Act, passed.”
Pelosi said, “Let me just say about our Dreamers, they are really a blessing to our country. I’ve said to them last two days, I’ve had six meetings relating to dreamers, and I said to them, do me a favor. Thank your parents for bringing you here because you’re such an inspiration to our country. They are so great, and the American people recognize that over 80% want them to stay; high numbers want them to stay on a path to citizenship.”
She continued, “I think President Trump is inclined to be supportive. He said he is. I take him at his word because the American people support the Dreamers, not because we were so persuasive, but because the American people support the Dreamers. So I’m optimistic that we will celebrate hopefully Thanksgiving, but more likely Christmas, with a DREAM Act, passed.”
