I can't speak for Democrats, but I believe a big part of the issue has been


that all those proposals where there is common ground have also included significant wall funding and/or reductions to legal immigration (without taking the time to look up every one). Also, isn't the detention bed thing tied to the whole country, not specific to the southern border, where you could increase beds whiie decreasing elsewhere? (I could be wrong on that, but that was my understanding.)

I agree with your frustration that it would be nice if they coukd at least pass something to address the problems where there is common ground. But including those non-starters for Dems doesn't help accomplish that, either. (And I'm not absolving Dems from having non-starters they should leave out of negotiations as well.)

As for the nitpick between legal vs illegal immigration in JMHoo's post, if his sarcastic link title "no emergency" didn't imply the illegal qualifier, can you please tell me what about legal immigration might cause a national emergency?
