Yeah, I wasn't going to get into the whole thing about how DREAMers are NOT illegal, but there's that detail. This shutdown isn't just about DACA. It's about frustration with the process and way that things are dealt with. Sometimes you have to try to use leverage in the instances you are able to. There's no compromises being made right now. Oh, and a bunch of Republicans are on board with reauthorizing DACA, plus not all Republicans are voting to keep the government open. So it ain't all about Democrats, who don't control Congress or the WH.
