“...Let Chuck and Nancy have their government shutdown...”
Agree. Let the bare bones essential gov’t functions continue and the bloated bureaucracy that is the US federal government will be unmasked for all to see.
“With Chuck Schumer and San Fran Nan threatening to shut down the government because they want amnesty for all the “Dreamers”, weak-kneed Republicans in congress are running scared because they know the fake news media will put the blame for the shut-down on them.”
I disagree. Trump should publicly state that he is for DACA as well as a path to citizenship for everyone approved for DACA. And they will get their path to citizenship as soon as the wall is completed.
Now Democrats are on the hook. They either approve the wall or are exposed as anti-American, open borders, pro-crime, socialists who only want illegal alien votes. And the illegals here don’t care about America, only the benefits they can steal from the states.
Foe Trump it is win win. There is no way every illegal is returning to their home country regardless how we feel about it. Might as well get the wall built and ensure never again will we have a wave of mass illegal immigration.
Agreed. And unlike obama, who went out of his way to cause hardship, Trump should make sure it is a painless absence of government oversight. He should also make it plain to democrats that he will sign NO bill resuming government if back pay for furloughed workers (except the military) is included. After all, it is government worker representatives who are precipitating this impasse
Agree also. Chuck and Nancy are thinking that the playbook of dealing dealing with rollover Bush is going to work again. The current guy in office ain’t gonna roll over and take it.
