If Democrats agree to that, it's not just nativists that we Dreamers would be up against, we'd also be up against legal immigrants. We already have a long list of enemies. We don't want to add legal immigrants to that list.

It's a big cut to legal immigration (I read about 40-50% cut). I don't see Democrats agreeing to this. Also they are taking away the due process of all other immigrants - undocumented, visa overstays, etc, so that's going to be hard to agree to.
