Also, no 2010 is not any different then now, if anything right now things are way worse for the Democratic Party then what it was back then. I doubt any vulnerable democratic senator who is running for re-election would want to touch an immigration relief bill. Specially those that are in states that President Trump won overwhelmingly.

We can argue all day about this. Both of us have differing views, but nobody knows what will happen despite the evidence we refer to. There ARE HUGE ASS political consequences to what you arguing for Dems. HUGE ONES. All or nothing approach? If Dems refuse to compromise, they will be just as guilty of the stalemate we have now. They ignore the issue when they had the majority, and now you think they will expose dreamers to risk because they stand for their all-or nothing approach? You do realize the consequences for them, don't you? Good luck at having a shot in the midterm elections. Again, we argue about this all day. We will just disagree. I say we just wait. There is a lot on the line. It's not as cookie cutter as you think it is.
