Trump is on thin ice here. The very thing that was his election promise was immigration. The GOP will implode if he renigs on this.
We didn’t vote for the GOP, we voted for ‘the Donald’. We know who the GOPe are, the coming legislation will out them and they can be primaried and replaced for the general.
I fully expect a governemt shutdown. President Trump has given the DNC and GOPe the same rope given the PLA in Israel. He has offered them the ‘Safe State Immigration Solution’ and promised to sign it. Israel also did this, note that everything Arafat wanted was granted and he walked away. The DNC and GOPe will do the same.
The gov WILL shutdown, get on your phones, write letters, send emails (I too, must get on the official record). Only a HUGE outpouring of support for Our President will force the Congress of the United States of America to act in accordance with their sworn oath of office.
I know from personal experience that one’s stance on principle cannot be shaken, but one’s stance based upon “feelings or popularity, perks, pull, power, narcissism” will wilt in the flames of an enraged and informed electorate. Let these elected officials KNOW that illegal is illegal and we expect them to forward Our President a bill respectful of the beliefs of a nation (we, the people) of LAWS.
Rats scurry as do roaches when the light is shown. Let us shine the light of Liberty upon them and ensure we will endure ANY length of government shutdown until the Congress lives up to their sacred oath of office. They will be remembered forever as the Constitutional Congress of the age or the congress of guilt and shame. They are a puffed up lot but their biggest fear is always that of a ball player that is cut before they wish to go, those that stroke their egos will “lose their number” the moment they are gone.
They fear becoming the next Hillary no relevancy, out of sight out of mind and good riddance.
