If they were smart, Dems could get DACA in exchange for it.
Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
If Trump were smart, he would’ve taken the $25B that was on the table in exchange for DACA back in February. He’s been bidding against himself. If the trend continues, the Democrats might get DACA for free. And with some reverse psychology, they might get Trump to insist that $5.7B be allocated to Spanish immersion programs in public schools.
Then why isn't Trump compromising. So far it is either his way or shutdown continues. Doesn't sound like much of a compromise.
Trump only has one thing to compromise with on his end.... And that's taking less money than he was originally asking for.
But no matter how much the final number is, it has to be allocated towards the wall or some type of barriers.
Democrats as of yet have not been willing to do that.

Oh geez, thanks for explaining everything. Lemme guess...it’s the Democrats who aren’t compromising, right? All they have to do is agree to fund the wall.
Correct-Dems must compromise if they want govt reopened in full.. That is all they need to do, although my hunch is they could get a deal funding 60% the WH request.
2/3 of the border that run through Texas is on privately owned lands. Do you support the federal government seizing those privately owned lands to build a wall not even the majority of Texans want?
If I owned land on the border I would PAY to have the wall built.
And what are they going to "seize" - the fence line?!
Who even wants it to reopen? Keep it closed until it becomes obvious to anyone that an organization with 800,000 non-essentials needs to restructure.
This is the camp I'm in. I also do want a border wall, but I really want this to happen - people to become aware that "Hey, waitaminute....we've been doing just fine without all of these non essentials....maybe we should keep it that way."

I am with you 100%. We have more government than we need.
Trump wants 5 billion for something he has no logistical plans for or else he keeps government closed and causes financial harm to 800,000! That is extortion!

All of which does nothing to refute what was stated in the post you were replying to.
