If you have that, you cannot afford to lose the ability to work. So no, "include everyone or no deal" does not work for some of us.
A compromise is needed and a compromise will have to happen if we want to be in a better position to help our parents, whether they remain in the US or return to their home countries.

I have everything you listed above: 6 figures, mortgages, car, and businesses but it not worth getting green card at the expense of getting my parents deported. You think you're in better position to take care of your parents when they are a continent away? When they get old, they are going to need care and that requires your time. If they get deported back then the only time you'll see them are vacations, when their sick, or when its time for their funeral.
I'll be okay with giving him his wall as long as the funds aren't used for interior enforcement, limit chain migration to us, and lower the visa numbers for citizenship and work permit protection for parents. Other than that I'm okay with waiting for a fair deal.
