The Democrats will vote for it because if they vote against it, they become the one shutting down the government.
If Trump actually want the deal, he needs to stop tweeting and blaming the Democrats. After what happened last time, no one will trust him. For all we know, he might turn around and blame Democrats for shutting down the government for illegals. He need to have a bill that Democrats can vote on, not talk talk talk.

I wasn't sure if Trump was really lying or telling the truth when he expressed compassion for our situation way back in 2016. He supposedly changed his mind after meeting with some dreamers during the campaign and (according to "Fire and Fury") was genuinely empathetic.
The problem is he 180'd on a compromise when Breitbart shamed him for it and Miller/Bannon, then Kelly advised him against any relief for dreamers.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think he's waiting for SCOTUS to strike it down so that Dems lose any leverage for a deal. He'll ask to end birthright citizenship, or the RISE Act in exchange for us which they obviously won't agree to.
We're going to lose DACA if that happens and they won't agree to a permanent fix (if the last 18 years are any indication). They'll probably rationalize with "they won't be deported unless they commit a serious crime" and others will point out that we aren't young anymore.
