Today's question in Capitol Hill is how both parties will handle the clash over the fate of Dreamers and risk to trigger a government shutdown this coming December 2017.

In a recent post, Politico knowledge that House conservatives have warned Speaker Paul Ryan to keep separated the immigrant's issues and the spending bill that should be approved before December 8.

Another question would be if Democratic Leaders Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York go along with their party and keep withhold votes from the spending bill.

Therefore, immigration negotiations could be delayed into 2018 and save the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in order to keep hope for young Dreamers.

For now, the only thing seems clear is that Ryan, Pelosi, Schumer, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are discussing a short-term government-funding extension.
