"Trump's compromise on DACA, offering the opportunity for 1.8 million young (or youngish) people to stay in the country in exchange for a wall and a more regulated immigration system, was surprisingly generous. Many Republicans blanched. **But the Democrats were having none of it. That would have put an end to this issue, at least for the nonce, and they would have lost their football**.
So instead we have a fiesta of hypocrisy with one supposed genius who once ran the CIA comparing what's going on on our border to Auschwitz (how anti-Semitic is that!) and the Mexican government, which treats immigrants somewhere south of lepers and has vicious controls on its Guatemalan border, jumping in to condemn the U.S. treatment of these children."
