Alas, they both fell before the anti-immigration furor of the Trump administration. But then President Trump\u2019s own hard-line immigration bill fell much harder, leaving the fate of the so-called Dreamers in limbo.<\/p>\n<p>The compromise measures would have resolved the fate of the Dreamers, the 1.8 million immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children and whose plight has generated broad sympathy. One bill <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collins.senate.gov\/newsroom\/senators-unveil-bipartisan-amendment-protect-dreamers-strengthen-border-security\" target=\"_blank\">written by a bipartisan group of senators<\/a> calling itself the Common Sense Coalition would also have given Mr. Trump money for his much-ballyhooed wall along the Mexican border, though over a 10-year period, while putting off more contentious questions about immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Mr. Trump is not interested in resolving a difficult problem if he can exploit it for political gain. After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/02\/14\/us\/politics\/trump-immigration-veto-threat.html\" target=\"_blank\">threatening to veto<\/a> any measure that didn\u2019t include his tough demands, and getting Department of Homeland Security officials to bad-mouth the compromise measures, the president succeeded in getting most Republicans to vote against them, leaving both short of the 60 votes they needed, one by eight votes and one by six.<\/p>\n<p>Minutes later, the Senate even more decisively beat the White House\u2019s own proposal, which would have provided a path to citizenship for the Dreamers while also severely limiting family-based immigration and ending the diversity visa lottery program. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/02\/15\/us\/politics\/immigration-senate-dreamers.html\" target=\"_blank\">bill fell 21 votes short<\/a> of the needed 60&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/02\/15\/opinion\/trump-kills-compromise-on-immigration.html\" target=\"_blank\">NY Times<\/a>&gt;
