Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., suggested Sunday a compromise that “might save the day” in a partial government shutdown impasse, declaring “nothing will get out of the Senate” without funding for a wall and border security
In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Graham said there’s been “a bit” of movement in the shutdown stalemate.
"Nothing will get out of the Senate without wall/border funding and Democrats are not going to give us any money for a wall/border security without getting something themselves,” he said.
“Here’s what I think will work,” he said, describing outlines of a potential deal that would exchange funding for a border wall for protections of illegal immigrants, known as Dreamers, as well as for those who came to the country decades ago after disasters and war, “along with some legal changes to do away with some of these magnets to illegal immigration might save the day in the Senate.

I don't know if young folks remember it but there was a term in my youth that would play quite well here.....Indian giver. Yeah it is not PC but it could work. I think today it is called small print. Much can be hidden in the small print.

@crazy_cajun Today the term " Indian Giver " isn't quite politically correct except for us that are old enough to actually remember a time when telling it like we saw it was considered a good trait to have. I get what your saying and fuck the youth if they don't understand that an Indian Giver is something you don't want to called or considered being one, because your word or actions are not trustworthy.

But it is something that could be pulled on the left as a means to an end.
