Exactly.

The Freedom Caucus is going to cave on chain migration and the DV lottery because they want to stay relevant like several other members have mentioned. Making these two items the sticking points will lead to a break down in talks sooner rather than later ensuring the success of the discharge petition. The easiest way out is to eliminate any changes to chain migration and the DV lotto and focus on a DACA + Border Security package.

IMHO, we're going to end up with one of two things (if talks don't fall apart altogether):
1. DACA + Border Wall without a pathway to citizenship meaning we find our own way to citizenship within the current immigration system.
2. DACA + Border Wall with conditional green cards that do not allow us to adjust for 10-12 years. This appeases their base by saying we didn't get any special treatment and they avoided a new wave of DREAMers in the future.
