Study Committee: Budget Deal and Mark Walker

study committee: It's often easier for congressional leaders to get legislation passed as part of must-pass spending bills rather than as a stand-alone measure, according to Metro News. Rep. President Donald Trump is phasing out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, but gave Congress six months to act before recipients' work permits begin to expire. Mark Walker, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, said just such a scenario was broached by a colleague when Ryan met with the group's leaders on Tuesday. At the White House, Trump also was asked about the prospects of extending the program as part of a budget deal in December. Walker said that if the scenario discussed became a reality, I know the RSC would have a problem with that. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
