Politico reports:

Senate Democrats are willing to drop their demand that relief for Dreamers be tied to any long-term budget agreement — a potential breakthrough on spending talks, but one that could face opposition from their House counterparts.

…

“We’re viewing [immigration and spending] on separate terms because they are on separate paths,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Tuesday.

Yes, immigration policy and funding the government are two different paths. It seems even Durbin gets it, although Democrats aren’t happy hearing about it.

You spineless, useless sacks of shit! If this is true, you’re all done! https://t.co/mfTVKWciBP

Hey, don’t say “spineless” … that’s offensive to people without spines.

And, the spinal collapse is complete. The Senate Dems abandon the DREAMers. Just. Like. That. https://t.co/FgLUCRnG7P

CALL YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND GIVE THEM HELL FOR THIS. DACA OR SHUT IT DOWN. https://t.co/FihyhZ7DyN

Dems have no balls. If the Democrat Senators drop #DACA support, they will find it harder to keep their seats in Nov, let alone win more. /cc: @KamalaHarris @SenFeinstein @SenSchumer https://t.co/vJgIFtfqgZ
