I was watching CNN this morning and the host was interviewing a Democratic representative... He is not one of the 17 that is doing the negotiations, but he said that they might give Trump some money for some type of a barrier... The CNN host asked how about trading permanent protection for the Dreamers. The Democratic representative said that they were two different issues...
So yeah, we are getting totally screwed for no reason. Trump would have accepted the DREAM ACT for the WALL deal; but the Democrats seem to have other agendas. They simply do not want to give him a "Win." They want to make Donald a one term president... We saw how that played out for the Republicans when they pledge to make Obama a one term president...
I have been saying it all along. Democrats are ineffective in getting things done. Durbin should have resigned long time ago, probably back in 2010 when he could not whip the votes for the Dream Act. How can an issue could be one of your top priorities for almost two decades, but you couldn't get any type of reform on it. He is running for the Senate again in 2020, and I bet he will print our pictures on cardboards and give teary speeches on the Senate floor. The justice Democrats should primary him and put in someone like AOC.
