Why not vote for the budget and DACA at the same time?

Asked by LostInParadise (31904points) January 21st, 2018

On the face of it, the cause of the government shutdown seems pretty silly. The Democrats want to vote on DACA and then the budget and the Republicans want to first vote on the budget. Everyone claims to be in favor of both measures. Here is my solution. Have Congress vote simultaneously on both bills. Each senator and representative would cast two votes, one for DACA and one for the budget. Problem solved.
