It was meaningless gesture by both sides and not some great "defeat" of the RATs by the GOPe.

I don't know who this straw man called GOPe is.
IMHO: The Dems own the Illegal Child immigration probably totally because they are transporting them across state lines. They have advertised to the world that these children will be given free healthcare, free schooling and free citizenship (to become Democrats).
That's my opinion and you can have yours.
