This is not a conservative victory: Trump and McC seem willing to permit DACA without the wall. Hope I’m wrong, but wall “authorization” is not “spending.”
Ending chain migration is more important than The Wall.
To save the working class in this country, we have to have all 4 of these:
-End chain migration
-Build the wall
-National E-verify
-End diversity Lottery
These are absolute non-negotiable minimums.
We also need many more immigration judges, an end to the anchor baby system, elimination of municipal/state sanctuary status, many more border agents etc. etc. etc.
Our current system is like time-release cyanide. It is certain to kill us if we don’t eliminate it completely.
"Seem" is the operative word. This outcome is a complete loss of face for the Dem leadership.
All Schumer was promised was a vote and floor time. Either way, whatever the Dems come up with, it’s not passing the House. They did polling over the weekend which showed them getting killed over it. Schumer blinked.
Some people suspect Democrats want to legalize DACA “kids” because they think they’ll vote Democrat. If you’re not certain why they think that, it’s because they assume that anyone who is still a “kid” at 36 has got to be a Democrat.

Trump has flipped the script on DACA and the wall. Going forward Trump will be able to paint any government shutdown as a Brian art choice between illeagles and Americans.
“Trump and McC seem willing to permit DACA without the wall. Hope I’m wrong, but wall “authorization” is not “spending.”
No worries, you’re wrong.
You seem good at remembering a phony Rat talking point. That’s not reality.
If they were willing to do that, the Admin would have caved and not the Ds. All McConnell did was agree to talk about it.
Wall’s getting built.
More importantly: Showtime on The Memo.

I saw Mick Mulvaney on TV last night, and I think you’ll take comfort in his words. It’s about a 13 minute segment, but worth watching.
https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/transcript/2018/01/21/mick-mulvaney-on-impact-shutdown-efforts-to-reopen.amp.html
I’ve had personal dealings with Mulvaney, and I know him to be a man of honesty and integrity.
Btw, here’s what I think is the relevant part of his interview for you. Please forgive my lack of html.
<<< MULVANEY: Full funding for the wall, no. What Mr. >>>
<<< Schumer offered the president was an authorization >>>
<<< for funding, not an appropriation. I know that’s deep >>>
<<< down in the weeds for folks who don’t live in >>>
<<< Washington, D.C., but the difference between >>>
<<< authorization and appropriation is like night and >>>
<<< day. There was already authorization to build wall >>>
<<< on the southern border that Chuck Schumer voted >>>
<<< for in 2006. It hasn’t been built because the money >>>
<<< was never appropriated, it was never funded. >>>
<<< And that’s the same deal that Chuck Schumer >>>
<<< offered on Saturday. >>>
Sarah said they’re going to insist on appropriation for the wall.
i want the wall built and e-verify enforced before any negotiations start.
