The difference between DACA and the Wall is the USA Treasury. DACA citizens contribute to it while "The Wall" depletes it.
DACA is a moral issue. How does the USA treat people that have come to live in allegiance to it's sovereignty? There is just no question here. The DACA citizens are as American as any other. These people didn't ask to be a part of the USA, but, they are exactly that.

Bogota, Colombia — Colombia’s largest guerrilla movement (click here) sowed a half-century of fear through kidnappings, bombings, extortion and killings. But in a new era of peace, the battled-scarred leftists are launching a charm offensive — trading their guns and fatigues for the soft-lit ads and sport coats of 21st-century politics.
The former fighters of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, decommissioned the last of their weapons in recent weeks, under a historic accord ending Latin America’s longest-running guerrilla war. Now the Marxist-Leninist guerrillas are taking a page from corporate playbooks and trying to rebrand themselves....
The Wall? It is a national security issue. The national security issue at the southern border of the USA are the drug cartels. No wall is going to stop that when every country south of the USA has sovereignty issues because of the cartels. The USA prides itself on a stable Columbia, SA. What about every other country including those between Columbia and the USA southern border?

Washington — Suddenly, (click here) Washington is awash in talk about deal-making. On Wednesday, President Trump agreed with the Democrats on a plan to increase the debt limit and fund the government until December, enraging his Republican allies. This sudden thaw sets up the possibility of an even bigger deal: In exchange for making the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program permanent law, the Democrats would agree to maybe a couple of billion for the president’s beautiful wall on the border.
Should the Democrats accept such a deal? A part of me would like to say they should. Hey, it’s an actual compromise, just like Washington politicians used to make!
But alas, no, the Democrats should not. The reasons reflect both Americans’ views on these two policies and, more broadly, a brutal truth of our polarized politics today.
The simple fact is that voters support the “liberal” position on DACA. In one recent poll, 58 percent of respondents said the program’s participants, known as “Dreamers,” should be allowed to stay and have a path to citizenship. An additional 18 percent favored letting them become legal residents, but not citizens. Only 15 percent opted for deportation.
