That's because funding it would MAKE IT LEGAL.
Surely the Rs cannot be this effing stupid. I've emailed and called. Hell this is just unbelievable.
The Rats are still in charge of the Senate.
Whoever beat Reid up should have finished the job.
In reality it is:
Senate MAJORITY Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
Why is Mitch the turtle still letting Harry run things?
Use the same nuclear option Dirty Harry used. Stop playing by rules that the Democrats don’t care about. The nation is at stake.
Who the **** is the majority party in the Senate?? For bleep’s sake.
The GOPe is playing with fire.
Pelosi states “She noted 170,000 DHS employees made up primarily of frontline security personnel will have to come to work without pay. That number includes 40,000 border patrol personnel, 50,000 Transportation Security Administration workers, 13,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and 40,000 active-duty Coast Guard personnel.”
But she omits the fact that all eventually would get paid.
Hey Dingy, there's a big difference between "shutting down the government" and shutting just one agency (DHS) of that government.
Stop Lying!!
As angry and fired up as we all have been for the 2010 and 2014 elections - that much energy is STILL pent up waiting for some elected politician to do the job.
Repubs will pay a very heavy price for this intransigence at the next ballot box.
Reid prctices Momron taqiyya
I wouldn't bet on it!
Why Republicans haven’t put this decrepit old SOB in the bathroom stalls as an office befuddles me.
Turtle has the power to completely nuke these bastards but refuses to do so.
Infuriating.
Close it down and blame Harry Reid. Basically Harry Reid is saying unless we fund illegal immigration, we will shut down the border.
There is a reason why the GOP is called the stupid party. What have they done that would make you think otherwise?
Boehner should stick to his guns.........and the that whimp, McConnell should, at the last second invoke the Nuclear Option and pass the house bill, which at that point would only require a simple majority of senate votes to pass!!! Ya gotta stick to the Obamabot, Democrat vermin....right now!!! Believe me....they will cave. Yeh....we Pubbies really suffered when Ted Cruz (He did not shut the government down...Obama, did)....so bad we gained ten senate seats and control of both house of congress!!!
I counted 25 Republican Senators up for re-election in 2016.
Were not going to allow a conference to take place and if they want to debate immigration, when this is all over with, were happy to do it, he said.
Hey Jerkoff, McConnell, you hear this? you whiney little wuss, this is your calling to actually become a Leader and ABOLISH THE FILIBUSTER. Harry Reid should have NO VOICE in ANYTHING the Senate does. they lost, you WON remember.
Pelosi urged House Republicans to accept the clean bill and **let** the courts settle questions.
DemocRATS still passing the buck.
Yes they can be. And don’t call me Shirley.
