That's why I think the only real chance of getting anything passed is a smaller piece -- trading DACA for stronger border security measures, for instance.  I've never expected an actual wall, other than maybe a few miles of it in high traffic city crossings that Trump can claim "See, my wall!". It's the stronger double-fencing, the electronic measures, the additional agents that should make up the vast majority of it.  

I think there's an outside chance D's will give in on that to get DACA, although they'll spin it as stopping terrorists instead of illegals.  Fine, that's the way the game is played.

I agree that mandatory e-Verify needs to happen. Both sides have political reasons for continuing to stonewall that one. I wish Trump would take that one on with the same fervor he pushes the wall, to expose both sides.
