McConnell: The President Stepped Up with Bold Plan to Re-Open Government, Fund Border Security
‘Everyone has made their point—now it’s time to make a law. I intend to move to this legislation this week. With bipartisan cooperation, the Senate can send a bill to the House quickly so that they can take action as well. The situation for furloughed employees isn’t getting any brighter and the crisis at the border isn’t improved by show votes. But the President’s plan is a path toward addressing both issues quickly.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following statement regarding the President’s plan to re-open the closed portions of the federal government, fund border security and address additional immigration measures:
“I commend the President for his leadership in proposing this bold solution to reopen the government, secure the border, and take bipartisan steps toward addressing current immigration issues.
“Compromise in divided government means that everyone can’t get everything they want every time. The President’s proposal reflects that. It strikes a fair compromise by incorporating priorities from both sides of the aisle.
“This bill takes a bipartisan approach to re-opening the closed portions of the federal government. It pairs the border security investment that our nation needs with additional immigration measures that both Democrat and Republican members of Congress believe are necessary. Unlike the bills that have come from the House over the past few weeks, this proposal could actually resolve this impasse. It has the full support of the President and could be signed into law to quickly reopen the government.
“Everyone has made their point—now it’s time to make a law. I intend to move to this legislation this week. With bipartisan cooperation, the Senate can send a bill to the House quickly so that they can take action as well. The situation for furloughed employees isn’t getting any brighter and the crisis at the border isn’t improved by show votes. But the President’s plan is a path toward addressing both issues quickly.”
I commend @POTUS for his leadership in proposing this bold solution to reopen the government, secure the border, and take bipartisan steps toward addressing current immigration issues.

Nancy expects Trump to cave on everything resign and make her President and she’ll keep running away until that happens
Yeah, she’s already yapping her trap that this is a non-starter. smh.
I blame Puke Ryan most for no action on Trump’s border wall. What a skunk. We had a House majority last year.
I don’t know if he can get 60 Senators’ votes, but this will get some Dems.
‘Grabbing’ the “bipartisan” title.
Now to see what gets on paper...
Where’s Nancy hiding today ?
If she runs, it will be on Commercial Aircraft, until this is resolved...might be a long wait with the TSA not getting paid...just sayin...
Didn’t hear; what was his proposal?
She was spotted in an airport.
Nancy knows that even if they claim they will negotiate if he opens the government, he knows they are liars and his best leverage right now is to did in and not budge any more than he allowed for today....they will be losing a lot of support as it drags on and their base actually starts hurting from their intransigence...especially since they have proven themselves to be hugh and series liars as the older videos of them talking like he is talking now - when they knew they would never have to do it.
Doesn’t he just need a simple majority to get the bill to the floor to open it up for discussion?
President Trump’s proposal:
-$5.7B for physical barrier
-$800M in humanitarian assistance
-$805M for drug-detection
-2750 border agents
-75 new immigration judges
-3 year extension of DACA & TPS protections—
Yeah, she’s already yapping her trap that this is a non-starter. smh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Tuesday President Trump can begin getting rid of a bunch of the 800,000 leeches since they have been furloughed for a month.
Nancy can explain it to them.
You know if McScrotum is praising your actions you’re doing something wrong.
Declare a national emergency, shut down the border and BUILD THE FARGIN WALL!!
No deals with the demoncrats are necessary. NONE.
We have been saying this at my office for a week
Government shut down should be a good way to find all the dead weight so he can reduce Government
“Senate can send a bill to the House quickly so that they can take action as well.”
Watch Pelousy refuse to take it up. She is that stupid.
Good question; she was last seen in National Airport with her entourage. Curious lack of media curiosity where she went (assuming it was not just a staged photo op - the reporter was from MSNBC).
