Seeing people on FB say the wall for DACA is a good deal.

Here is my response to them.
"3 years of DACA for the wall is not a good deal at all lol. Tie the wall to daca and if daca is not renewed at the end of 3 years the wall is pulled down. that would be at least be a deal."

On edit so people don't get the wrong idea.
A temporary deal for a permanent deal is not a deal at all, that is my point.

The reason DACA is an issue is because Trump tried to end it without doing anything for those people because he doesn't care. Giving him money for the stupid wall is no different than paying a hostage taker.

he will declare victory and throw all the problems onto the next president that is why it was a 3 year renewal he will be done after having looted and destroyed as much as he can.

... and didn't actually read your post!

It was intended as a rhetorical question for people who think Trump's "compromise" is a good deal.

He could decide to end DACA on a whim again.

due to court decisions, and because the Supreme Court declined to hear the case against it (which was announced the day before Trump offered his "deal" ). So what Trump is offering is really only a two-year extension at best. It's not as if he could end DACA tomorrow if the Dems don't agree to his proposal.

Look at a satellite photo. A wall would cost trillions and trillions and take a decade or more to build. Besides, Trump doesn't even have a fucking plan or a blueprint or a clue... from how he's going to steal all that land away from ranchers to how much payback Russian steel it will take. But be sure the Trump family will be skimming profits all the way through. It's just gross.
