Trying her hand at prophesy, the House minority leader is now saying God is siding Democrats in its efforts to attach Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals (DACA) legislation to a House budget bill, an issue that may lead a government shutdown.
"We're not backing off anything," Pelosi said Thursday of Democrats' demand that a DREAM Act pass before Congress recess for the year. "We are not going to turn this country into a reign of terror of domestic enforcement, and have the DACA, the DREAMers pay that price."
Pelosi then invoked the Almighty, arguing he's favoring Democrats in the policy squabble.
"But I'm optimistic," she said. "I always have been. God is with us on this. Our country is great. We know that greatness springs from the vitality that newcomers bring to our country."

Hey they think they live in a Democracy. That’s all this is, mob rule.
Well, if they get paid during the “shutdown”, we can consider that severance in lieu of notice. In any event, the goal here is to reduce non-essential federal employment, which would in turn reduce non-essential spending. The details will be unpleasant, no matter how they turn out.
With all of them. Trump included. This tax bill theyre working on raises our taxes. Were not rich. And hell sign it because he wants a win. Theyre trying to do DACA before Christmas? And hell sign it. So first they raise my taxes then amnesty illegals for Christmas?
Not what the hell I voted for!!
“Not what the hell I voted for!!”
Me neither———I feel used.
My PRIME complaint was immigration-——I don’t know if the tax deal will effect me or not——(retired,fixed income)———it all hangs for me on immigration.
I’m sick to death of reading about schools that need dozens of interpreters. I’m sick of “Press ONE for English”. They certainly didn’t do that when the early immigrants came,therefore it is NOT necessary.
.
Let’s see if I’ve got this right. It’s a reign of terror to actually enforce the laws? Amazing the stupidity of SanFranNan.
