GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, from the top tiers of leadership down to key rank and file, are quickly coalescing around pairing a measure that codifies the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program into law with some modest security and enforcement measures.


And Democrats are willing to deal.

This means that President Donald Trump’s desire to construct a 2,000-mile border wall and slash legal immigration limits are all but off the table. Ditto measures, at least for Democrats, that would put other undocumented immigrants, such as the parents of Dreamers, more at risk of deportation. But other, more modest measures are in play.
Quote:
“There are some things that are absolutely unacceptable. A 2,200-mile border wall is unacceptable. Making it easier to deport the parents of Dreamers, not gonna do that,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, a longtime advocate for Dreamers, said in an interview.

But, Durbin added, “If they want to put something on the table, I’ll look at it.”

The wall is a waste of money, but border security could always use improvement.

To tell you the truth I'm shocked. There's a lot of good quotes from GOP in that article as well.

They might not have to in the end if Dems are threatening to tack on DA to any must pass spending bill.

Republicans would be smart to take up small concessions for DA now, instead of nothing in the future.

Trump already walked back shutting the govt over a wall, he will sign any budget bill with a clean DA attached.

Definitely - actions are louder than words. But it's better than reading articles about them not willing to compromise.
