I only meant that comment in the sense that both Republicans and Democrats are going to have to make a deal. I think both parties, like in most negotiations, are holding back from what they'd be willingly to accept. I think while this is definitely the right foot forward, we shouldn't jump to completely accepting it (officially) until we know what the border security provisions are. We don't want it to seem like we're getting away with something because it could mean harsher provisions for even our bill let alone the border security part.

Trust me, I empathize with you on everything you've touched on. In no way am I saying this is a terrible bill, it's a good start. We shouldn't sell ourselves short so early is all. Let's see how this plays out in this weeks news cycle and possibly some committee hearings.
