I do this all the time with all my business deals. They will reach out to you when you give them a hard no. It will come down to if Trump wants the wall or Dem wants to legalize dreamers more. Trump will need the wall for his 2020 campaign. It will be a huge win for him and his base.

i really dislike having to lecture so many of you;
the original discussions were for DACAers(the 800k or so people covered) to get conditional green cards in exchange for border security/diversity lottery reforms.
broader talks were also being discussed and were to be done as a second phase(stuff like more dreamers covered, diversity lottery being ended, cuts to legal immigration).
then things went to shit because of dems wanting tps to be lumped in, THEN they went to BIGGER SHIT because of one comment made out of context, that dems wanted to take advantage of.
