On Saturday, Donald Trump shrewdly flipped the table on Nancy Pelosi in the government shutdown standoff.
For 25 years, Democrats have preferred to politicize the immigration issue - and treat Hispanic voters as political hostages - rather agree to a bipartisan solution to deal with the 10 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. There's no good option for Pelosi now.
My Democratic friends on Capitol Hill tell me privately that the last thing Pelosi wants is for Trump to take credit for solving the immigration crisis and making headway with Hispanics.
If Trump can win 10 percent more of the Hispanic vote, no Democrat could defeat him.
Trump is to be commended for accepting a political reality: The "Dreamers" are going to get legal status at some point and why not now so Trump can take credit.
Republican political pollster Ed Goeas has recently noted that this would combine two popular concepts at once - the wall and DACA. The political chaos from the government shutdown isn't working in the president's favor.
DACA for the wall turns the politics of the government shutdown upside down and Trump will come out a big winner - at Pelosi's expense.

Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are responsible for the government shutdown. Monday evening reacting to the latest government shutdown and border security news, reminding listeners that it is the House that is responsible for appropriating funds, not President Trump.
It is the Democrats in the House who are responsible for keeping the government shut down.
"Nancy Pelosi effectively controls the appropriation process in the House of Representatives. It falls to the House. She rules the House like Kim Jong Un," Levin started.
"So she controls whether or not the government will be funded fully. She controls whether or not we'll get a measly 5.7 billion dollars to build barriers, among other things, in some of these gap areas on the border. So she's blocking the spending. She's blocking the wall. She is blocking everything," he explained.
