Compromise on what, exactly? The DACAs are illegal aliens and like all illegal aliens they have no business being here and need to leave.

Except there should be compromise on DACA included in funding our government. Giving illegal aliens amnesty vs keeping our country running? The choice should be clear to our congressmen.

Is that true? I thought they needed 60 votes. That would require some Dems to vote with them.

So...you are all in favor of putting illegal aliens, who BTW, have no business being here, ahead of the millions of suffering underemployed and unemployed? Putting illegals first is despicable.

Have you moved several illegal aliens into your home? If so, how many? Are you feeding, clothing, sheltering, paying for their medical care and lawyer fees? Also, have you given them your SSN so that they can find work?

If you haven't done any of the above^^^^then get started

Correction for my post #43 above. "There should be "no" compromise on DACA......".

Trump told Feinstein in that press-attended meeting today, that he would agree to a clean DACA bill as Step 1, with "comprehensive immigration reform" following as Step 2.

Dems get their DACA bill and there will be no (zero) motivation for them to work with Trump and the Repubs on anything else related to immigration - including the wall, the visa lottery and chain migration.

Bill of Love. Really? Really??

He goes that route, and I will not vote for Trump again in 2020.

I watched Trump talk and that was not what he said.

The Wall, hiring more ICE and Border Patrol, E-Verify, ending chain migration and lottery immigration, FIRST. Fixing visa overstays, second. DACA LAST. Same message to both senators and congressman. If you agree, contact your three.
