"Democrats wrote to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and other Senate leaders warning that they will throw a wrench into efforts to appropriate funds for wall construction if the request is wrapped inside in a spending measure needed to keep the government’s doors open beyond April 28.

How about we charge a tax on booze and pot to pay for the wall?

A credible threat requires impending harm, so where’s the downside?

The trouble is that the Demoncrats and the Lame Stream Media will find a way to blame the Republicans, just like the last time.

maybe 3/4 of the fed govt should be shut down...permanently.

let’s all get behind Schumer’s proposal (and then just keep his shutdown IN PLACE)

we can name it after him ... the Schumer Right-Sizing of Government Event

we can even have it proclaimed an annual national holiday, like any other national liberation type celebration

That should endear him to his hard-core lefty constituents, whose core belief is that the only thing better than Big Government is Bigger Government.

This really approaches the level of: “Do anything you want to me, but, please, please, don’t throw me in that briar patch!”

Can you imagine a government shutdown under Trump? The military gets paid and congress doesn't. Oh, and all the parks stay open.

Please do it, schmuck spooger, President Trump is in charge now.

Interesting that the LA Times did this. Lou Dobbs reported this on CNN and it cost him his job. The only network we would see this on would be FOX. All the others are staying away from it. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, this should be of great interest to you!

Just One State - be sure and read the last part... try for 3 times.

This is only one State... If this doesn’t open your eyes, nothing will!

From the L.A. Times.

1. 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2 million people) are working for cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

(Donald Trump was right)

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on
Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals; they are here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal
aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in LA are Spanish-speaking.

10. In LA County, 5.1 million people speak English; 3.9 million, speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people, in LA County.)

(All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times.)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States’ annual population growth, (and over 90% of California, Florida and New York), results from immigration. Also, 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are fools for letting this continue.
