Why is the left ditching the DACA compromise?
It looks like a plan that would have allowed “Dreamers” to stay in the United States is off the table for the moment. Why are Democrats backing away from a compromise that would help those under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program? A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the right:
1. Here’s why Democrats are sabotaging the DACA compromise
From The Daily Caller: Why are the Democrats refusing to compromise on DACA? Because the politics of such a deal would cost them way too much.
White House official: Trump has been 'pretty clear' about what it will take for DACA deal https://t.co/wRvnfwLqOW pic.twitter.com/bl97S1OvfQ

From The Federalist: Democrats have no intention of agreeing to a deal that will help the president. They never did.
Here's an idea: @realDonaldTrump shd tell McConnell to adopt the Goodlatte-Labrador bill in the House. Ends (doesn't just limit) chain migration, REAL funding for border wall, ends visa lottery & gives #DACA help.

3. You think Democrats want to fix immigration? Dream on!
Washington Examiner: Why would Democrats give up an issue they can use against Republicans in the midterm elections?
