How does a possible DACA-Wall deal separates families?! What the heck is she talking about? She is one of those people that wants all or nothing with respect to immigration!... G. How do we end up with crazy fascists or crazy socialists that do not know how to compromise?

House Democrats say they don't trust President Trump to keep his end of any bargain, and are wary of negotiating a deal that could benefit those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program while throwing other undocumented immigrants under the bus.
"Many of us, Democrats and Republicans, want to find a solution to this, and the White House has never been supportive of that," said Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), a moderate who worked out a Dreamers-for-wall deal with Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) last summer.
Ocasio-Cortez said "the administration is grasping at straws."
"I don't know if it's because they're trying to cover for the fact that they can't even offer that — we're going to reject it. We're not going to exchange DACA for a wall. We're not going to save one part of a family to expend another part. We're not going to separate families. They know we're not going to separate families, they know we're not going to tolerate that deal and right now they're just grasping for an excuse to not offer it because they know we're going to reject it," she said.
