Is there is one thread that essentially shows the hypocrisy of the House of Representatives’ DACA “debate” among House Republicans, it is this one from Alida Garcia of FWD.us. This needs no real explanation. Just read and learn:
We are 10 days away from the President's #DACA deadline – & I have some questions for some members of the House of Representatives about prior commitments & statements they've made about the need to #ProtectDreamers – thread to follow:

On Dec 5: @RepNewhouse @RepMiaLove @MarkAmodeiNV2 @Scotttaylorva @RepDavidValadao @davereichert – you signed this letter to protect Dreamers before Christmas? It's late Feb. March 5th is around the corner, what are you doing about it? https://t.co/3n89ap1e13

Same Q to @RodneyDavis @RepJohnFaso @RepJohnKatko @RepChrisStewart @SusanBrooksIN – what are you actively doing to stop the Dreamer crisis by March 5th? You thought it was important enough to do before Christmas – https://t.co/3n89ap1e13

Here are a bunch of other House members who on December 5th thought it was important to #ProtectDreamers by Christmas. And now it's February 23rd & we're barely hearing of anything from the conference to solve this crisis https://t.co/3n89ap1e13 pic.twitter.com/CD6vFIgOlk

.@SpeakerRyan you told Angelica, a mother of US Citizen children on DACA that she had nothing to worry about – but what is the plan? When are you going to solve this crisis? You've had 6 months – put the #USAAct on the floor for a vote.https://t.co/PU3ou47UQI

.@SpeakerRyan – do you remember talking to my friend @AceOutWide – a tennis professional from Miami last month at the State of the Union? You told him you'd get a #DACA solution done. What's the plan? March 5th is in 10 days. pic.twitter.com/p9vj1utXA7

.@RepKinzinger you said this in September when #DACA was repealed. We are 10 days away from March 5th. What are you doing to get your leadership to solve this in time? Will you cosponsor the #USAAct or get the #RACAct to the floor? pic.twitter.com/EKVyPC0obS

.@RepLaHood you said this in September when #DACA was repealed. We are 10 days away from March 5th. What are you doing to get your leadership to solve this & #ProtectDreamers in time? pic.twitter.com/H8O0s3QDRA

.@RepErikPaulsen – we are 10 days away from March 5th. You've voiced support of #DACA recipients. But can you please get ON the #USAAct & work to get the Speaker to bring it to the floor for a vote? We are beyond words. We need action to solve this now. pic.twitter.com/1hn3Be4Awb

.@repdavetrott – you said this about Dreamers & #DACA in December – (thank you) – we are running out of time, what is the plan to solve something in the next 10 days? We need to urgently #ProtectDreamers pic.twitter.com/YsMxbzPmOM

.@RepTomMacArthur – where are you at? We need your help. March 5th is 10 days away and there is no plan in Congress to solve this man-made crisis for #DACA recipients. You've said all of these things. We need action to #ProtectDreamers now. Could at least get on Hurd's #USAAct! pic.twitter.com/SA2jn062Cz

.@RepLanceNJ7 – if Dreamers are a part of the American family as you've said. Then why are we leaving them behind with no plan? What are you doing to ask your leadership to get a vote on a solution that actually solves this crisis. Get the #USAAct to the floor! pic.twitter.com/gAUSPJ5SS6
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@USRepRodney – if we shouldn't punish these young people. Then what are we doing to break the log-jam? Inaction is punishment! Congress must solve this. What are you doing to #ProtectDreamers in the next 10 days? pic.twitter.com/iIPbH17sS1
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@RepChrisCollins – there is not even any *short term* certainty for Dreamers, let along long-term certainty. What are you doing to fix this? March 5th is in 10 days. We need Congress to move quickly & #ProtectDreamers now! pic.twitter.com/CpJTXpWAJv
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@TomColeOK04 – you said it's important to show compassion to Dreamers. Well there has been none shown – March 5th is 10 days away and they still have no resolution to their unclear futures in America – what are you doing to fix it!?!?! pic.twitter.com/0Clz4qPg9a
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@RepRussell – you said we shouldn't deport #Dreamers, but we are 10 days away from Dreamers losing protections and being at risk – many already are. What are you doing to prevent this world you said shouldn't come to be? We are running out of time! pic.twitter.com/IIBSmcC7Uk
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@RepRyanCostello – you literally said "let's not wait 5 months & 30 days" – and guess what? Congress has waited 5 months and almost 30 days. What are you doing to #ProtectDreamers over the next 10 days?!?!? pic.twitter.com/aaAceDxJ6R
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@HerreraBeutler – you've actually been one of the biggest disappointments in the Republican conference, completely absent from fighting for Dreamers. Just leaving these young people behind. What are you DOING to match what you SAY here?!?!!? We have 10 days to #ProtectDreamers pic.twitter.com/lSfA1TALKf
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
.@cathymcmorris you said that Congress works better on a deadline. Well the deadline is in 10 days, & there's nothing from House leadership on what they're doing to #protectDreamers by that deadline? pic.twitter.com/wE6LONzahj
— Alida Garcia (@leedsgarcia) February 23, 2018
I could keep going but my airplane WiFi sucks. Point is – House Republicans – Saying your support Dreamers is the "thoughts & prayers" of the gun violence prevention movement. Enough talking. March 5th is in 10 days. We need action to #ProtectDreamers. And we need it quickly.

And so we're clear. Solving this crisis doesn't mean putting a bill on the floor that slashes legal immigration in half doesn't get to 218 & leaves us right where we're at. Pass the #USAAct, solve this & be heroes- there are 218 votes on that bill. Catering to Meadows won't work.
