I would be interested as how you would like the DACA situation handled in general... independent from the current government mess.
Yeah... it still has a certain tone. Hostage takers are the bad guys. Putting it that way transports some judgment, but maybe that's just me seeing it that way.
You are right that the word choice carries with it an implicit judgement. However, it shouldn't be something held against bfine in this situation. This is a word choice used by the players in Washington all the time with these things. Schumer, in 2013, said: "No matter how strongly one feels about an issue, you shouldn’t hold millions of people hostage".
I don't agree with the language, but it is the language of the topic.
