Federation for American Immigration Reform ^

Posted on 12/21/2017 7:52:57 AM PST by Lobbyist

On Dec. 22, there is a strong possibility that the federal government will shut down. Why? Because of overt threats from Democrats and pro-amnesty Republicans who want to hold the government hostage to enact an unconditional amnesty for millions of illegal aliens (not just DACA recipients).

In other words, if the government shuts down, it will be because one side was willing to sacrifice the interests of the American people in order to reward millions of lawbreakers.

Trump voters want the government shut down!

And NO back-pay for those laid off either!

Make it hurt.

And use the opportunity to downsize by 50%

I don’t get it. If the R’s control the executive and legislative branches, And McCain is out, how do we risk a shutdown?

So the Democrats want to shut down our government so they can secure some illegal alien votes for themselves?

Throw these bastards out of our country and send the Dems with them. Sick of these traitors.

President Trump would never sign it into law. He will instead let the government shut down.

Just sent an email to our congressman (again), saying that we do not support any amnesty for DACA illegals, and that we still expect him to support building the wall.
