Here it is. This is why Democrats are on the mats with DACA. They aren't in a good position politically, and Republicans should press them. They lost if the government shuts down over this. And they will lost if they compromise.
The smartest thing Republicans could do is stick to their guns and force them to the mat and do this in such a way that they can take partial credit for any compromise that saves the so-called dreamers because that will also impact Democrats long-term goals too.
