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.

The wall is important, but 40% of the current invaders are VISA overstays. Unless eVerify is strictly enforced, and welfare magnets are halted, the illegal immigrant invasion will continue. Wall or no wall.
