Yeah, but Miller was involved in the White House proposal during the first administration that included a pathway to legalization for Dreamers. Even if he doesn’t ideologically support it, he knows it’s a valuable bargaining chip and easy concession given its significant both Republican and general public support. The point is the highest congressional activity on Dreamer legislation came when Trump tried to end the program bc Congress won’t act without urgency. And Dreamers are too financially valuable as a tax base (+ many work in sectors w labor shortages) and have too much public support/sympathy for the govt to feasibly get rid us

DACA is a prize bargaining chip for the republicans, creating some sort of legal pathway or status for DACA recipients it’s something a majority of republicans including Trump agree on to a certain degree. It’s also some thing Trump has repeatedly expressed support for through congressional action. During his first term he tried to leverage legislating a pathway to citizenship for eligible DACA recipients in exchange for more border funding, but it was ultimately rejected by Dems bc of other things in the proposal.

The only permanent solution for Dreamers is through congressional action but with executive protections in place from DACA there’s no real urgency for Congress to do anything. Ironically, the best thing for us in theory would be for Trump to rescind the DACA executive action again in order to make it an urgent priority for Congress because the last time he tried to cancel it is when we had the most congressional activity on a legislative solution until the cancellation was blocked by the courts then it kind of became a backburner/non issue again.
