Possibility 1: His proposals pass, and 1.8 million dreamers get stay from deportation with a pathway to citizenship, but in exchange we see our longtime wishlist on immigration and border security come to pass, and I break out the champagne. Furthermore, if republicans pass such a plan with unanimous or near unanimous democratic objection, all those people may pledge their lifelong alliegance to the republican party. Possibility 2: Republicans aren’t unanimous and democrats block passage of the bill. Then all deals are off and the no exception deportation of all illegal immigrants including the 1.8 million so-called “dreamers,” whom you evidently didn’t care about as much as you claimed, will resume. You get to say your tearful goodbyes to them while I am throwing confetti in the air singing “Sha na na na, sha na na na, hey hey, goodbye!” In the end, it really doesn’t matter what happens here. We gain something either way, and for you, to quote Calvin Coolidge, “You lose.”
