Dem Immigration Bill Actually Sounds OK

Prima facie this sounds pretty good to me:
   It would provide a 10-year protected status for 1.6 million Dreamers, a path to citizenship for the 700,000 who signed up for former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and further protected status for the 300,000 under Temporary Protected Status and 3,600 under Deferred Enforcement Departure.
   Temporary Protected States recipients are nationals who are unable to safely return to their home countries due to armed conflict, natural disaster or other extraordinary circumstances. Deferred enforcement recipients are Liberian nationals displaced by conflict and the Ebola crisis and allowed to remain under protected status in the U.S.
I do have some inclination to want the Pubs to say: No deals until you-all get serious about border security...because I'm skeptical about that happening any other way. But, ignoring political maneuvering for the time being, these seem like the kinds of reasonable reforms that ought to be on the table.
