I’m missing something. I see this as a 100% victory.
DACA will die. Trump said it will not be extended. Sooner or later we will get all Wall and security funding. ICE is running wild!
I don’t see where this is a loss in any way.

Without DACA, Trump has zero leverage over the Ds to get any sort of border security funding. And those 10 squish votes (make it 12 with Little Lindsey and Mitt) mean you will never get anything done on chain migration or the diversity lottery, which have been the two main drivers of Muslim immigration into the U.S. over the last decade.
This week’s failure ensures the continued destruction of American culture. I don’t see that as “victory” at all.
Why can’t the wall be funded via the Pentagon Funding? It is a defensive measure. National Defense is the purview of the Department of Defense.
Furthermore, the Army Corps of Engineers would be the natural manager of the contractors building the wall. They managed the ALCAN Highway. This would be a hell of a lot easier!
