Wait, I know why. Optics. Trump doesn't want to look soft(despite the fact he wrote a book called Art of the Deal so this would be perfectly acceptable to his base if they get the wall) and Pelosi/Schumer don't want to cooperate with Trump, because on the left, if you collaborate with or talk to someone, you're basically the same as them. Also orange man bad.
They tried, and it was all ready to go through, and then FOX News pitched a fit and Trump pulled out.
