There's a whole host of issues that must be dealt with by the end of the year including reauthorizing a spying program, funding disaster relief and paying for the Children's Health Insurance Program, which has all sparked questions about whether Democrats will insist DACA also be included in that list of year-end spending priorities.Democrats have repeatedly called for a fix to the ending of the DACA programThe party may have the most leverage as part of their year-end negotiations
