No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.

Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!.....

This can't be making Trump's most passionate supporters very happy.
And here's the thing: He'll be on the road meeting those supporters face-to-face very soon:
President Trump is planning a 13-state travel blitz over the next seven weeks to sell his tax reform plan to Americans....So what happens if people -- maybe overt alt-rightists -- show up at Trump speeches ready to protest DACA? What happens if would-be attendees show up in anti-DACA T-shirts? Will they be turned away, perhaps forcibly? What if attendees start anti-DACA chants while Trump is speaking?
The tour is expected to include several states that Trump won in 2016 and where Democratic senators are up for reelection next year....
Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania are among the states Trump is expected to visit.
This may not happen -- hero worship might override cultural-nationalist anger -- but it seems like a real possibility to me. I recommend laying in a supply of popcorn.
