There are quite a few things where the Dems could have at least brought forth, let alone put to a vote - on things that they now act like it's the end of the world if they don't get their way. Well, a few have actually stated that! But where were they the prior 8 years?

Scalise: Where Is Pelosi's New DACA Push Coming From?
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made history this week with her 8 hour, 7 minute filibuster demanding a debate on DACA. Social media users appreciated her effort, starting the trend #GoNancyGo. She then voted "no" on the congressional budget deal that ultimately passed and ended the brief government shutdown Friday.
We have "always expected" that the budget bill would address DACA, Pelosi said, explaining her rejection of the deal.
Where was this urgency when she was Speaker of the House? Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) wondered.
“If Minority Leader Pelosi was that serious about it, she would’ve handled this more directly when she was speaker of the House,” Scalise told reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday.
The Democrats never brought a bill to the floor before losing the majority, he added.
Fox News contributor and Democratic pollster Doug Schoen pushed back at Scalise's narrative, noting the "Gang of Eight" effort in 2013 when a bipartisan group of senators sought a solution on immigration reform. While their bill passed the Senate, it stalled in the House.
