Here is the actual proposal the White House put out (link)


Without getting into the back and forth yet again, and linking articles about Schumer withdrawing his agreement 24 hrs later before ever delivering a single needed vote, or whether somehow Coulter & Co. had more say in this than Chuck, I agree with you that it was a great starting point, would've had us well on our way to solving the DACA issue, and provided an excellent opportunity for the Dems to negotiate what should've been a reasonable compromise (but opted not to).

I will say, that although not mentioned, I thought the WH was also trying to cap legal immigration to around 750K/yr from the current 1M. Even that could've easily been negotiated IMO.

I still don't see what's not to like with this proposal for both parties, even if some minor tweaks were made in negotiation.
