It makes no sense, it costs hundreds of thousands of jobs for Americans who need them, costs billions and billions of dollars to support them and their anchor babies, why would he want a stupid DACA deal? He wanted the debt ceiling raised to deal with the Hurricanes and keep the government running. He wanted the health care bill and tax cuts passed.
I realize it looks like Trump is redefining amnesty, he like many operate with a different definition from the one we use, he equates amnesty with citizenship and regardless of what amnesty he's referring to when he says no amnesty, he and we know what he means when he says no citizenship.
There is no deal on DACA, never was, only in the minds of Chuck and Nancy. Just my opinion, but I think he played them to get the debt ceiling increase and hoped he could pull out a passing vote in the Senate on the health care bill. He got one but not the other.
