Still, it's easier to get the Dream Act across if you have both houses even if they are staffed with centrists, especially if DA rides on some random piece of legislation and anyone in a redder district can claim that they didn't notice the provision and are disappointed in Pelosi.
Remember, the chamber leader controls the legislative agenda. It's easier to put a "Budget bill of 2019" in front of Trump with a democratic shopping list than it is to amend stuff in while in the minority.
