Like I have always said, I do not expect legislation to pass right after DACA is cancelled. Last time some were able to renew one last time and other were left out. Once legislation passes the "new program" will not be implemented immediately, so everyone should be ready to deal with at least 6 months of unemployment give or take.

The democrats first walked away when Trump agreed to 25 bil for DACA then he changed the deal to add his "4 pillars". This is killing a bill by adding more stuff to it. That was when democrats first walked away. Remember Trump went as far as asking for removal of birthright citizenship, which means you have to change the constitution. That is impossible so it's hard to take him seriously. The democrats in the Senate forced a weekend government shutdown so McConnell will bring some bills to a vote and if you recall, the most popular one (I think it was the USA ACT by Susan Collins) that gives DACA people status, the DHS sent out a memo at like 2 AM saying it's bad so a lot of senators got scared and it didn't pass the Senate. Trump's own DACA solution got the least amount of Senate votes. They were supposed to debate immigration for a week but didn't start until like the 2nd or 3rd day into the week. The democrats stopped trying to work with republicans after that.
Of course, after the courts came in it solidified the position that democrats won't work with republicans but they tried to, at least twice.
People crying because they lost their jobs? What about parents crying because their kids are taken from them? Nothing so far has been done about that, why would you assume people would do something about losing a job? Morally speaking, a lot more issues has to be addressed before the worst thing you see on TV is dreamers losing jobs or not being able to study because a lot has happened then.
