I would call that
his vanity project. In response to my question at yesterday's meeting,
the President appeared to demonstrate some flexibility on this issue,
but after the Freedom Caucus spent yesterday afternoon warning of a
potential betrayal on so-called ``amnesty,'' the President reaffirmed
in a tweet his hard-line position that funding for the wall must be
part of any deal on Dreamers. Between insisting on building an unnecessary wall, demonizing family
reunification, and peddling misinformation about the diversity visa
lottery, the President lost track of what is really at stake here--the
inspiring young people whose lives he has left hanging in the balance. Before the holidays, it was heartening to see so many Dreamers from
all across the country taking direct action in the halls of Congress to
fight for their futures. I spoke with a number of these young people,
like Victor from Houston, who traveled for days to make his voice heard
in Congress.
