Which isn't surprising, since the reason nothing has been done on immigration is because of Republican obstruction. Now they can't complain about how that nasty Democratic majority won't work with them. And the Democrats are pushing them and threatening to close down the government about it, instead of just ignoring it.
Pretty sure that we're going to find that Democratic obstruction is also part of the problem in the near future. There are definitely Republicans who won't vote for amnesty, or a path to citizenship, if you prefer, which means this only gets done with fairly heavy involvement by both parties, and unless they can get to 67% overall, with the consent of the President.
Although I do have to give Trump credit for making it a crisis by threatening to end the DACA program. Nothing like promising to do something immoral and unfair to finally get people to act. 
You are only thanking Trump because you are uninformed. Trump literally saved DACA, it was about to be ruled on by the Federal courts because of a case pursued by the states that are opposed to immigration, and most analysts believed it would suffer the same fate as DAPA. If it were ruled unConstitutional it would have been immediately dead. Trump's action literally caused the claimants to delay their case.
In any event, it's really hard to convince me that following the law is "immoral and unfair" and some how the President is the evil one when Congress has consistently failed to fix the law. DACA is literally unConstitutional, Obama even said it multiple times before he put it in place. It was put in place anyway because governments have figured out they can far more easily violate the Constitution than you can hold them to account for it.
DACA is getting a fix no matter what, the only question is what else is getting fixed.
I wouldn't count out the Freedom Caucus just yet. They may just hiccup at the last minute. Don't count your boobies before they are hatched. 
There is no chance of a unanimous Republican support. I still view this as a certainty to get fixed. Just a question of what else goes through in the trade.
Not getting a clean bill though. Still want the credit when you fund Trump's wall and end chain migration?
The Democrats will shoulder some blame for allowing the wall and the end of chain migration, yes. But that is the compromise they will have to make to save the 700,000 to over 1 million people from being deported. They are the minority party, after all.
Trump offered up 1.8 million and a path to citizenship not just freedom from deportation. But like I've said many times, he's more central on a lot of issues than either party, and the Dems will literally sacrifice their own "goals" rather than give him a win if they can avoid it.
The shut down already back fired.
The polls agree--for the Republicans (see previous post). 
Lol. Happy for you, tell that to Schumer.
It was totally insane, to believe that the tactics of a group trying to shut down the government are workable for a big government deep state party.
Except the government is not a "deep state," and Democrats haven't been able to overcome Republican obstruction since Clinton.
Actually it literally is. Democrats haven't been able to pass laws because Republicans don't want to work with them and because the laws Dems propose don't have real majority support. So how have they managed to implement so many policies? They've literally infested the Deep State, corrupted multiple agencies to follow hard left policies and ignore the law and their statutory limitations. Heck they even did it openly by creating the unConstiutional Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, which has no Congressional or Executive oversight, and is not even subject to Congressional control of its budget.
You could not be more blatantly undemocratic than to support the Democrats efforts to control the permanent and unelected bureaucracy.
In fact, it's kinda nice to see Democrats use the tactics Republicans have been crowing about for these past several years. Let's see how they like it. 
Go right ahead. I hope the Dems do. Unlike the Republicans the Dems have banked on identity politics for years, explaining away deliberately undermining one interest group is going to be very hard to do. That's what tanked the government shutdown. How you going to get the government employee's union to support being out of work to back the Dreamers next time? How you going to explain scuttling a path to Citizenship for the Dreamers, knowing that the most likely consequences are either (i) the SC shutting down the overreach that suspends Trump's order, or (ii) the state's refreshing their case and DACA being ruled unconstitutional from inception?
But I agree that they shouldn't make a habit out of it. Our country needs a government that actually governs.
I really don't think the Dems understand the impact resistance is going to have. It was fundamentally a winning strategy (at a primary level) for Republicans because they have a strong core of people that don't want the government to function. The Dems cores is exactly the opposite, and because of the build of their party, the Dems have to hurt one group to help another. You'd think after Trump's gains with blue collar workers the Dems might have taken a look at how vulnerable they are to adopting public policies that split their voters.
