    LOL. You didn't offer a compromise.

    And they'd do more good at preventing Bad Hombres from entering the US illegally than Trump's Wall.

    Fundamentally, what's the difference between compromise and blackmail?

    "Build the wall or we'll deport dreamers" doesn't sound like compromise to you?

    Your troll game is especially strong today.

    Maybe that was just YF's starting bid. Maybe he'd be OK with five-strand barbed-wire fencing running the length of the border. He could raise the W flag on the border "wall" and kids who are as American as Donald J. Trump could get to stay in their home nation.

    DACA provides no path to citizenship, so I assumed your clean bill that would make DACA law wouldn't magically include it.

    But, your solution is a punt.

    Trump has signaled he's willing to deal on this, and give Dreamers a path to citizenship.

    Rush Limbaugh just endorsed such a plan.

    The condition is border enforcement. We used to call this "comprehensive immigration reform".

    No dems just want to fix this one thing.

    Where'd the comprehensive reform go?

    Put your money where your mouth is folks.

    Legalization and a path to citizenship is on the table.

    If you've never been an undocumented immigrant, you really aren't qualified to participate in this discussion.

    What compromise are you proposing?

    It can't be on the table until it's a bill and not leaks from anonymous aides. Those are just trial balloons, a legitimate political tactic, but not the same thing.

    And regrettably made a short-lived star of Jesse Eisenberg.

    There was just a string of left-leaning posters would said they would support funding for border enforcement.

    "Border enforcement" and "The Wall" are two different things, yes?

    No, what we're seeing here is the Trump administration threatening to treat a class of people who have done no wrong cruelly as a way to gain leverage with Congress to build his stupid wall when those people could just continue to be treated in a fair and humane way. It's a cynical, scumbag move.
