At this point, unless republicans vote to open government and give Trump a chance to sign it... the republicans will have to offer democrats a bill that will gain their support. So far, the bill they gave democrats as a compromise isn't serious and that'll have to change.

Let's see how the senate votes. I imagine a few republican defectors (to cover their asses and protect the vulnerable senator for election) but not enough to pass a bill.

It's also possible that the dems will offer 5+ billion for border sec but no wall funding and maybe that opens up government. If that happens and this bill doesn't pass because Trump is set on having a wall, then dems will gain an upper hand.
If it passes & Trump still wants his wall - dreamers will have to wait for February as they negotiate wall funding.
If it passes & Trump gives up on his wall - dreamers will have to wait for an unknown amount of time.
