Keep the Government SHUT DOWN.
Then at some point, ONLY reopen the 20% constitutional portion and KEEP THE REST SHUT DOWN.
It would be a great day for America!
Trump already lost once on the shutdown. Trump should only shut down the government now IF government employees are NOT paid for not working. We should save money during a government shutdown not actually pay more.
There’s no way he’s doing that and I think everybody here knows it. He’s not going to squander all the good will he earned from his SOTU address and his 52% approval rating. Would it be the right thing? Yep. Buts he not doing it. It’s not the politically right thing.
Sounds like everyone is attacking Trump while Nancy and the Dems sit back and laugh again
Waiting to hear what our POTUS has to say tomorrow morning in the Rose Garden at 10 AM ET!!
Am I reading this right? If PDJT signs this bill, DHS (border patrol) cannot stop anyone from entering... with or without a wall... if they are with a child?
Section 224(a) of the bill
“None of the funds provided by this Act or any other Act, or provided from any accounts in the Treasury of the United States derived by the collection of fees available to the components funded by this Act, may be used by the Secretary of Homeland Security to place in detention, remove, refer for a decision whether to initiate removal proceedings, or initiate removal proceedings against a sponsor, potential sponsor, or member of a household of a sponsor or potential sponsor of an unaccompanied alien child ( as defined in section 462 (g) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279(g))) based on information shared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.”

WOW!! Trump was boxed in by our very own base!! Good God I’m scared for my kids that live on the border!! This bill has all sort of goodies rewarding and encouraging hundreds of million illegal invaders to make their way here!! THIS IS BS MADNESS!! PLEASE PRESIDENT TRUMP VETO THE BILL ...PLEASE!!!
Unless he privatizes air traffic control and the TSA, he’ll get the same result as the last shutdown.
“Nice airports ya got there, be a shame if they all came to a halt.”
Settle down, Beavis.
If Trump signs this bill he will lose a lot of his base. Our legal immigration policy is even more destructive than illegal immigration. Building a wall isn’t going to fix the problem alone. Trump has to take a stand. He needs to force republicans to go on record one way or another. The establishment RINOs need to be challenged in future primaries, and forcing them to show their true beliefs will give us a better chance of being successful.
Can Trump line item veto?
Take the border money, approve the good stuff but veto the illegals waltzing in crap and any other excess bloated wasteful spending?
The bill passed both Houses with veto proof majorities. Trump can veto it if he wishes (though it looks like he’s going to sign), but there won’t be a shutdown.
I trust him to take the path that needs to be taken.
