Elections Groups: Never-Passed Proposals and Government Shutdown

elections groups: Democrats are trying to balance their commitment to a progressive priority with their desire to avoid a government shutdown and the potential fallout in the 2018 elections, according to Metro News. Groups such as Move On are threatening to champion primary challenges against incumbents who don't fight hard enough for these young immigrants. Democrats' inaction has enraged liberal activists, who have shifted their anger away from the Republicans who run Congress. They're commonly referred to as Dreamers, based on never-passed proposals in Congress called the DREAM Act. The pro-immigration United We Dream is preparing a new wave of camera-friendly protests at the Capitol and outside congressional Democrats' offices nationwide. The liberal organization CREDO is pledging to block campaign cash from unco-operative Democrats. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
