(takes deep breath) In an effort to unpack this: The Senate voted for 4 DACA/wall measures on February 15. They all failed (the most conservative one only got 39 votes). The 9th Circuit decision, upholding a nationwide injunction against ending DACA, was on November 8.
The reason the DACA for Wall deal didn’t get done was that a ridiculous court decision from the 9th Circuit allowed DACA to remain, thereby setting up a Supreme Court case. After ruling, Dems dropped deal - and that’s where we are today, Democrat obstruction of the needed Wall.
