They should counter offer or say open up government then negotiate. The most important thing is Trump cannot get his wall without attaching a solution for dreamers. When it happens, it doesn't matter if the government is opened or not doesn't matter (to dreamers at least).
It'll be a bad look if democrats didn't do anything about DACA (at least negotiate either when government is opened or right now). Trump will say "look, the democrats don't care about DACA." Also, dreamers aren't the only undocumented community. Dems can still campaign on immigration. Feinstein said she wants to the people working in the california farmer fields, Obama also wanted to do something dreamers' parents (with DAPA).
There's more people supporting a permanent solution for DACA than not. Even the CATO institute and Koch brothers agree.
