More from Politico:

When President Donald Trump makes his first address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, at least four undocumented immigrants whose temporary legal status could be revoked will be in the House watching him speak.

“Would the United States be better off if [Aaima Sayed, a third-year medical student at Loyola University who is here under DACA] is deported to Pakistan, where she hasn’t lived since she was a toddler, instead of using her talent as a physician to help low-income Americans? The answer is clear,” Durbin said in a statement. “I am honored to host this gifted young medical student as my guest. I hope her presence reminds President Trump what’s at stake in the debate over DACA: the lives of more than 750,000 innocent young people and the wellbeing of entire communities.”

New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Colorado Rep. Jared Polis, and Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan—all Democrats—also plan to bring DACA recipients to the address.

So … will the Dems’ plan to stick it to Trump work out the way they hope? Or is this yet another one of their Very Bad Ideas™?
