Many people here have pointed to working on the bigger cause (overstaying visas) for the last two years. You'd likely have bipartisan support for it if you coupled it with protecting Dreamers.
The wall is only being entertained as this be-all-and-end-all because Donald Trump decided to make it the center point of his campaign. The fact that someone with no immigration or political experience is in a position to set this narrative doesn't mean we have to ignorantly accept it.
You know Obama bashed all the illegal immigrants crossing the border and said that we need to stop it, right? So when Trump wants to do what Obama talked about doing, why’s stopping illegal immigration suddenly wrong?
