Another thing Trump could maybe offer the Dems in exchange for the wall: Legislation ending debt-ceiling shutdowns.
Would be an organically relevant way to end this one.
He doesn't have to offer DACA. There are other things Dems want. https://t.co/xVyGKCvbhh

Terrible deal. Amnesties a million. Doesn't close asylum/catch & release/Wilberforce loopholes that are driving current surge. Nothing on E-Verify either.

Not quite buying the @PeterBeinart line that Pelosi doesn't want to try to amnesty DREAMERs at the end of all this.1) Amnestying DREAMERs could also destroy Trump; 2) How does she keep DREAMERs in line? They're an aggressive lobby. Going to take one meekly for the team?

BURIED LEDE: Why has "trust in other negotiators such as Kushner and Pence … dwindled" on the Hill? Is it because they (and Mulvaney) sell what's obviously Trumps "soft yes" as a 'hard yes"? More on this, please https://t.co/T2YCSbMlnF

Deeply suspicious of Knight (tax cut/Gary Cohn pick). Passage below doesn't relieve concerns. Also this: "[S]hutting down the government over a border wall is probably not something that, unlike the president, she was 'proud' to do." Can't Trump hire people who agree with him? https://t.co/SIG1I8OdGw

Trump signing this would be consistent with Rope-A-Dope strategy (i.e. don't make shutdown too painful–shave off sharp edges, even reopen individual departments, so he can keep shutdown going and keep talking about immigration for a looooong time). https://t.co/bgypqCdR95

You're more easily persuaded than I am. I'm more easily persuaded than Krikorian. But whole debate's pointless unless voters have CONTROL over how many we let in. Wall, etc designed to give us control. Dem positions prevent control–so mass immig. happens whatever voters decide. https://t.co/vaCY7NrVTM

All about maximizing GDP to Dalmia. Not what I would maximize. Tenor and texture of US society also important. What good is high GDP if we throw less skilled fellow Americans on economic scrapheap? https://t.co/516i0biTKh

HERE'S YOUR BARGAINING CHIP, MR. PRESIDENT: "Democrats Unveil Bill to Raise Federal Minimum Wage to $15" https://t.co/XUOYzA1d2I Give Dems a minimum wage hike in exchange for the wall. Think outside Lindsey's box!

Looks to me like figure would be around 590,000 if you take the 60,782 figure from this release https://t.co/B41oFvKcqk and plug it into this chart https://t.co/2Sq9Q9CsSw FY2019 still on track to surpass even 2014 surge, when "amnesty" talk was omnipresent. https://t.co/Llboo643NY

What would help prevent deaths? A border wall in remote areas (as well as near towns). Like a fence around a swimming pool to keep people from drowning. https://t.co/elk0a7DAbN
