    The Democrats voted early last year to give Trump $25b for the wall, which seems odd if the Democrats are against the wall.

    Senate Republicans and the White House rejected the $25b for the wall.

    The immigration deal Trump should’ve taken, but didn’t


    I’m reminded of something Slate’s Jim Newell wrote back in Matrch:
    [All Trump] had to do was accept a 10- to 14-year path to citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States at a young age.That deal has been on the table for more than a month now: Trump gives Democrats a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers; Democrats give Trump his full $25 billion wall funding request.
    […]It is confounding that Trump didn’t just take the deal.That was published nearly nine months ago. It’s still confounding that Trump didn’t just take the deal.

    A timeline of DACA offers Trump has rejected

    March 23, 2018

    February 14: A bipartisan group of senators unveils a compromise plan, which includes $25 billion for the border, a pathway to citizenship for the immigrants, cuts to one slim category of family-based migration and prevents the parents who brought their children to the US illegally from ever being sponsored for citizenship by those children.

    February 15: White House goes all out to stop the bipartisan compromise deal, which fails to get the necessary 60 votes in the Senate, with 54 votes.
