Agreed. Both sides drop things that need to be addressed in CIR and pass Dream Act/border security. They are legitimately making things more complex than it should be for the same of politics and everyone ends up looking more incompetent.

Re: Dems more willing to negotiate border wall
 

Agree. DA + Border Security. I think appropriate border security will prevent a future DACA/Dreamer population problem. Family based, DV, point system, etc all fall outside of the realm of Dreamers. This solves a current problem, and helps to prevent a future one.

Sooo 17 democrats voted for the CR through march 23.... IF they would vote against it I don't this would pass right? cuz it would have 211 Yea's LOL NUTTS

edit: never mind.... the count was not updated it passed like 245 to something

Re: Dems more willing to negotiate border wall
 

We are just negotiating among ourselves... Moderate Republicans broadly agree with us. The problem is a small fraction of hardliner, both left and right, but we don't have leaders who can stand up and forge a deal.

President Trump has rejected three separate offers to fund his broadly unpopular wall in exchange for the broadly popular Dream Act.

Re: Dems more willing to negotiate border wall
 

Yes. I think it's foolish for them to try and address this now.

The Art of the Deal.

Re: Dems more willing to negotiate border wall
 

I'll say this: If you were gaming out how strongly opposed House Democrats are to a caps deal that does nothing toward DACA, the only Dem I've talked to who was fiercely opposed was Luis Gutierrez.

Joe Crowley, Ro Khanna, John Lewis, John Larson, Mark Takano — all noncommittal.

@MEPFuller

House Dems about to throw us also under the bus?

Re: Dems more willing to negotiate border wall
 

They want DACA in the spending bill... how are they throwing us under the bus?

Re: Dems more willing to negotiate border wall
 

They said they do but they are negotiating a two year spending bill with Republicans without DACA. Only thing that is live now is a "promise to debate" next week in the Senate.
