EXCERPT:
TAPPER: "Simply put, you think Democrats failed today to protect you and your fellow DREAMers.” ESCALANTE: “I think so. They had a really strong negotiating position in which they could carve out a deal that essentially protected as much of the immigrant population, specifically the DREAMers. And in good faith, also connect with Republicans. Unfortunately, what we see here now is that the Democrats have seen the way and we still have until March 5, as you mentioned earlier. But unfortunately, what will happen now is that the Senate may actually have a timetable to deal with this issue. What about the House? What has Speaker Ryan promised and what will happen in that scenario?
