It’s a great strategy by Trump. He shows he is willing to negotiate and the Democrats aren’t.
Reminds me of the Israelis and the Palis.
The Democrats cannot afford to have the border controlled.
This 1.8 million will not give the Democrats a permanent majority. It might be a temporary boost, but they know a constant stream of uneducated and unskilled migrants is the only thing that will keep them in power.
The wall prevents that and dries up the stream.
Trump knows this. That is why he made the offer. He knows that the Democrats cannot accept this deal......and the Democrats cannot say why they cannot accept this deal.
Trump wins.
