The republicans have not had a filibuster proof majority in close to the last 100 years.
If you won't consider compromise, you may not be a great negotiator.

A great negotiator realizes the difference between compromise and surrender. If caving in on immigration, the key item that won Trump the Presidency, is not the surrender that Dems want, what do they wish to accomplish? The solutions that have been offered as compromise on immigration are basically the same solutions that led to further and greater illegal immigration. Sounds like surrender.

Path to citizenship for illegals before necessary border protections and penalties for those caught are instituted.

If that path is granted before the border is secured, that will encourage more illegals to come with the notion that they too will eventually have a path, as it has consistently done with paths to citizenship without border security in the past. And that is even more so when promised border security does not happen.

How about your beloved "compromise"? You may believe that what Trump wants won't work, but make the compromise. Give him what he wants and you get the path.
