of course not, they need to work together to find a middle ground instead of it being "my way or no way".
DREAM act for border security isn't a middle ground, just look at how many people voted against that.
there needs to be something between the USA act and grassley's bill that can swing over more R's.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't work towards middle ground. I believe some in the GOP purposely put certain requirements (pillars) knowing that it was unlikely an agreement between GOPs & DEMs would occur at this moment in time. Just look at how little time McConnell allowed it to be discussed in the Senate, and Ryan won't even bring any type of bill up in the House. It was meant to derail talks and progress. And it worked.
Border Security/Border Wall for DREAM Act is a middle ground and a decent deal. Democrats get DREAM Act. Trump gets his wall. It's a win-win.
