Legalizing Dreamers and enhancing border security in smart, cost-effective ways (drones, sensors) is an obvious, logical, publicly-supported compromise. If it doesn't happen, it's an indictment of our government, demonstrating how extremists can thwart the will of an 80% majority
Here's a normal (i.e. not push) poll showing 86% support DACA. "DACA plus more border security" supported 65-27. I don't know of a poll that specifically asks about drones and sensors, but "build the wall" is 37 for 62 against.https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/912271312021852161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftownhall.com%2Ftipsheet%2Fguybenson%2F2017%2F09%2F27%2Fpoll-americans-strongly-support-dream-act-additional-immigration-enforcement-n2386297 …

"Employers must verify status" is supported 79-19. That indicates about 80% support at least some enhanced security (I'm happy to add that measure in along with cost-effective border security). Together (86% like DACA and 79% like at least some security) = popular compromise.

I'd like to see the legislation at issue now, such as ending chain migration and the diversity lottery included instead of vague strawmen. And this doesn't even get to the public misperception that DACAs are as portrayed by the media and other proponents.

This is where we disagree You're arguing that blocking these popular measures may create leverage to pass less popular measures you want I'm arguing that Congress should pass these popular measures, because they'd improve the country, and give almost everyone something they want

You know that no Democrat supports e-verify, right? Not part of the proposed deal.
