Regarding immigration, I just want to remind folks of the ultimate timeline

It's not like I'm being published in "The Hill" here. Republican strategists don't read me to find out clues about where Democratic leaders are prepared to draw hard lines and where they will compromise.

Every single concession Democrats are forced to make in negotiations with Republican racists pains me greatly. I don't want a dollar of our taxes wasted on that fucking wall, for example, when there is so much real suffering in places like Puerto Rico going unaddressed. I can see the white supremacist agenda clearly in the immigration proposal that the White House is pushing. And Democrats can push back. We can not however win on every front while Republicans control Washington. I just hope we all remember that before we start sniping at each other over possible "concessions" that result in a final budget deal.
