The bipartisan deal that could have passed both chambers had the veto threat not been levied would have provided money for border security (including the wall) and gave a path to permanent residency to "Dreamers."

It's sad to me that they were unable to make this happen.

So it seems I was reading correctly. The difference between the 2 is trump's wanted total immigration reform and the bi-partisan only wants to address the dreamers.

My thoughts on this have not changed and fortunately it seems both plans are trending in that direction. I've always said if you were brought here as a minor and have proven to be a "good citizen' then you should have a pathway to citizenship; however, if you knowingly came here illegally as an adult: sorry about your luck.
