Approve DACA and the wall - how hard is that?
No limits or quibbling on either. It would actually show some leadership on both sides.

Because there are enough Democrats who don't really want DACA protections enshrined into law. They'd prefer to have the ISSUE to constantly campaign on.
And there are just enough Republicans who don't want the wall for the same reason.
And to them the politicians on each side who refuse to compromise at all and that's how things DON'T get done.

Putting my proposal to and up or down vote would smoke out the frauds, no? @beckyromero

You need to craft such legislation and actually get a vote scheduled to even possibly "smoke" anyone out.
I agree that could be somewhat of a compromise (depending on where the wall is built, i.e. does it cut thru Americans' property, are such people properly compensated, does it continue to literally divide American towns).
[b]NO American should be forced to live on the OTHER side of the wall.[/b]
If any part of their property would be on the OTHER side of the wall, then the federal government should have to use eminent domain proceedings to acquire ALL of such property, not half of it, not none of it, etc.
Kind of raises the price tag a bit.

From day one beginning when the legislation was passed by the Dems eminent domain applied. @beckyromero

You miss my point.
The feds have been dividing towns and placing Americans on the OTHER side of the wall by [b]NOT[/b] using eminent domain fairly.
Governments, federal, state and local, histortical have ABUSED eminent domain by only acquiring the land where a structure will be built - even if it's only PART of the land someone owns that eminent domain is used for.
Want to park? Take half of a person's backyard.
Want to build a highway? Take half of that person's farm.
Etc.

That’s the way it works and part of how the courts determine reasonable compensation. @beckyromero

Eminent domain should work?
Landowner decides
Pay landowner whatever landowner wants
I personally doubt your plan would work 😉 @beckyromero
