Most of us will have near 2020 as the expiration date, and a new Democratic President will come in after 2020.
The Republicans will have to defend 20 Senate seats in 2020, so there is a very good chance we will have Democratic President, Senate and House after 2020.
Then DACA is the very least we will get.
It does not make sense for Democrats to support this bill. We do not get any kind of real benefits from it, but it allows Trump to campaign on "I built the wall!".

So what happens if the program ends based on SCOTUS decision later this year? Now everyone who's permit expires in one to two years will be at risk. With nothing in place, they will be fair game. To be honest, its a shit offer but I see it like this, the benefits of having something in place outweighs holding out on any deal. This of course is my opinion, but it seems that's the only deal they would most likely agree on.
