Let me give you guys the game theory behind the Dems, related to 2020 msging:

Preference #1
No wall money, Trump capitulates and does NOT go through with nat emergency.
- this is best for Dems, they get to say they fully stopped Trump and kept gov open

Preference #2
No wall money, Trump does nat emergency
- Dems will say wall is tied up in courts and they didn't cave, thereby still stopping Trump.

Preference #3
Wall money + perm status deal that MUST start from the WH, Dems can't counter offer perm status first no matter what. This is why Hoyer is saying it is not part of the deal. It also allows them to do some show votes in the house passing Dream Act and it will never be seen/heard from the Senate.
