That’s always the repeated line. It’s not real, you would have to be the biggest idiot on the planet to just hand amnesty to millions and expect the other party to “honor” a supposed agreement that was never in writing.
To be fair "the biggest idiot on the planet" is a pretty apt descriptor of the GOP. I suspect the deal "existed" with the full understanding of everyone involved that the Dem side of the bargain was never going to be fulfilled. That's been their MO for a long time. We saw echoes of that very recently when Trump gave up all our leverage by funding everything except DHS.
