This may now be also true in the new House in 2019, although now the Senate will be tilted further to the right, and Trump will need only 7 instead of the 10 Democrats he says he needs to support his unwise and extreme policies.

On the Newshour it was reported that two compromise bills were passed in the Senate recently. Senators Grassley and Durbin were leaders in this, and Trump is supporting them. Criminal justice reform will increase the likelihood that prison sentences will fit the crime and that rehabilitation will be available. Drug and other non-violent offenders will have increased access to treatment. Another bipartisan farm bill was passed, which gives price supports to farmers and also restores money for food stamps. Extremist anti-environmental elements were taken out of the bill. I believe the White House is supporting this bill as well.

In earlier times, bipartisan immigration reform passed the Senate and was killed in the House. Now Trump is at loggerheads with Democrats on this issue.
Of coarse, the situation is much different now. We have a Republican Senate that isn't going to vote against Trump and slit their own throats like Democrats. We have a Republican in the White House who doesn't care about his image  with the liberal press. Trump has one Democratic leader to contend with in the House who seems to be opposed to adding more AMERICAN border security which Americans know is unpopular with the her supporters  and unpopular with the world but seems to have the  support by most American citizens/voters these days. So, it's up to her whether she wants to start her second reign as Speaker with a government shutdown that she can't defend herself or defend her position against the criticism coming from unhappy Americans on her side who will  be loosing  wages for the sake of illegal immigration.

See Bob Butler, here's an example of how a typical Republican voter (which Classic Xer is; he may even be to the LEFT of most Republican voters!) are ruled by prejudice and fear alone.

Only a scared and fearful people build a wall to keep people out that they are afraid of. These fearful Republican people blame immigrants for the lower wages-- which their own Republicans impose upon them! They think Americans support this wall, when in fact Pelosi has the support of the majority of the American people who oppose the wall. But since Classic Xer thinks that only Trump supporters are "Americans," he can't see what is beyond his prejudice to see. Republicans may be opposed to government spending and taxes--- except when it's for the things THEY want, which are things to keep the people they are afraid of, those non-Americans, out of their country-- things like big, expensive useless armies and huge border walls with the name of their hero written on them-- just as long as they think their ridiculous cult hero authoritarian leader is not being insulted by the blues, and just as long as they can blindly hold him up as having behavior exactly opposite to his actual behavior! Hey, Classic Xer would make a great subject himself for "a closer look" with Seth Meyers!

Very coarse, of course! ha ha!
Dude, only a dumb or foolish or overly sympathetic or naive or completely  impoverished and worthless  nation would insist and allow its borders remain open to whoever wants to enter, any time they please and for whatever reason. As I'm mentioned before, we aren't the native American Indians who had no concept of the world at the time.
I don't think I said I want open borders; that's just how you guys portray us as saying.
