how realistic is it that DACA people could've pushed for something more when the house and senate went under repub control?

None the less that is not what is being said, what was being said was that we didn't do anything after getting our permit. Difference between trying and not trying. But I disagree with the aged out dreamer point of view in general because I know DREAMERs who are uniformed and they would not be doing anything regardless.

And let's not pretend that "we have to take of ourselves so we can save the rest" is genuine. Ask most DACA recipients what the bare minimum they would take from the DACA debate and most say at least a work permit with the ability to travel. Travel for family emergencies, education, or business? Nah, we wan't to go take selfies at some tourist destination somewhere.

It's human nature, and like I said I've done and thought the same, but it's still a shitty feeling when you realize that you never put up a fight.
