Disagree. Cruz was never going to get any deal done, thus no wall. Let's give it some time to shake out.

No way to get 60 votes on a conservative position on immigration. Hell, probably couldn't get 50. I blame McConnell for not using nuclear option. At any time in the future that Dems retake control of Senate, they will immediately go nuclear. Then McConnell will look like one of the biggest fools in the history of the country when they reverse anything resembling conservative policy.

I agree about the nuclear option and McConnell, but a bad deal would be worse than no deal. Democrats don't want secure borders and will continue to refuse to enforce immigration laws at every opportunity.

I would prefer that Republicans enforce existing immigration laws and focus on ending chain immigration rather than give up the farm in exchange for a wall. Democrats want to import millions of new voters and when they get into power again, laws and a wall will not stop them from succeeding.

Trump and the Republicans should do all that they can to stop illegal aliens from becoming citizens and Democratic voters, while they have the power to do so.

Maybe Democrats will shoot themselves in the feet and refuse the great deal that Trump has offered. I hope that will be the case because it would remove immigration as a serious issue in the 2018 campaigns and allow Republicans to spend more time touting the tax cuts and success of Trump's tax cuts.
