On Monday, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Chris Coons, D-Del., introduced bipartisan legislation to legalize Dreamers. Because the bill conflicts with President Trump’s plans to fund a border wall and restrict family-based migration, he immediately took to Twitter, calling the proposal a “total waste of time.”

But what Trump fails to realize is that his own immigration plans are a waste of time, and would only double down on the exact same policies that created today’s Dreamer crisis.
