I don’t get this—it sounds like a total cave on the part of the GOP!

All the Dems have to do is not agree on a deal and then they get a straight DACA vote—that is, without any concessions on the other side!

“I don’t get this—it sounds like a total cave on the part of the GOP!”

No different from the Republican position when the shutdown started - hard to see how they ‘caved’.

As it is, good luck Dems on getting Trump to support a clean DACA bill...especially after the Dems actually did offer him a few things if he would sign a DACA bill, and we wound up with his s-hole comment as the result of that.

It takes 67 Senators and 290 House members (meaning something like 90 Republicans) to override a Trump veto. While I’m also not so hot on Republicans, I fail to see which 90 Republicans are willing to lose their seats for these DACA types.
