I won't post the whole article, but here's probably the most important part related to tomorrow's meeting.

======================================
Trump on Tuesday morning will huddle at the White House with almost two dozen lawmakers from both parties and both chambers to try to break the logjam on DACA. Both Republicans and Democrats, however, predicted the talks would yield nothing, with both sides entrenched in partisan demands.

Pelosi said she had to talk the White House into including more than two House Democrats in the conversation — which, she argued, showed Republicans are not serious about reaching a DACA deal. She also asked for Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.) to attend, but the White House said they had “space problems,” according to Pelosi.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, a leader in the Senate’s ongoing bipartisan DACA talks, agreed that the White House meeting was unlikely to yield a deal but because of the opposite reason: “It’s too big a group. I don’t know why the president wanted to gather so many people together but my experience suggests that’s not the most productive setting.”

Durbin said Democrats would like to have a DACA deal as part of any spending agreement, along with a whole host of items: “There are many elements that we want to have included in any final agreement. DACA is one of them, [children’s health insurance] is one of them, community health care clinics and a number of things,” the Illinois Democrat said.

To be honest, for my own mental health, it is better if I forget about this whole thing and stop checking political news related to our situation every hour or so.... But, it is hard to stop checking... haha...

How can Democrats compromise? They're only asking for permanent protection, while the other asshats are trying to include as much shit as possible.

Agree with Dick on this one. Too many cooks in the kitchen. At the same time, if you gonna have this many people, what’s one more? Not enough space is bullshit. Why have someone like Miller at this meeting? Last I check, he’s neither the president nor a legislator. Just have him print his wishlist again and give it to the President.

All right, lusten everyone, there is not really a 'daca' compromise; the compromise is the Dream Act for all childhood arrivals in exchange of border security, diversity visa lottery, and especially now with TPS dead, it is of utmost importance to enact the Dream Act so that those who have TPS but arrived as kids before 2001 have a chance to stay.

Democrats need to hold their ground on Durbin's Dream Act as the minimum in exchange for Republican requests.
