Pro-amnesty GOP Senators are working hand-in-glove with Democrats to block a government budget until President Donald Trump agrees to break his campaign promise and his presidency by amnestying millions of wage-lowering illegal immigrants.
The hostage-taking is being fronted by a group of GOP legislators, led by Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Lindsey Graham, who announced Wednesday they would not allow 2018 funding for the Pentagon until Trump approves an amnesty, saying:

The last time the govt was shut down, they pinned it on Ted Cruz and constantly reminded him of it for years. Hussein of course, was given a full pardon. Let’s see if the same liars in the press do it to the fag and flake and pardon President Trump. Herein lies a problem, and that is paying all federal employees for no work, like was done the last time. The rats are all going to align themselves on the side of the foreign criminals, so will the old media, so will several rats that wear an R. Let’s see who stands with American citizens. Do we let the criminals win?
Exactly. There are at least 2 others that have done the same.
They have nothing to do with it. The old media does. How can you not get that.
I agree. Trump has something up his sleeve. He always does!
Reagan and Trump may have a similar fortitude. Reagan was quiet and resolute and no doubt the best President of the twentieth century. Trump standing his ground for US citizens will put him right there with Reagan.
it’s going to be awesome! I can’t wait to see these guys go down in flames
This is tailor-made for Trump. He will be able to make it clear that Congress is working for foreign nationals who have committed crimes in the US and that Congress is stabbing our own citizens in the back, including the men and women in the military. This one is going to sting and it will help us in the Fall elections.
The Democrats are really stepping in it — they aren’t dealing with a spineless Republican.
Shut the government down best thing for the country and the people. Keeps the like Flake and Graham from screwing up the country anymore than they already have.
Historyn on government shutdowns Last one was 2013 16 days Dems blamed the republicans. 2014 election Republicans picked up 13 house 8 senate seats. The democrats are counting on the press to have their backs but this time around the media is not trusted. The other thing is the president can go around the press and directly to the people and blame the democrats. in the past republicans would go off in a corner and suck on their thumbs. Not this time with this president. The Democrats and RINO’s like Flake and graham threaten to shut the government if they don’t get their way SHUT THE DAMN GOVERNMENT. For the rest of 2018 would be a good idea. That way they cannot screw things up anymore than have.
How will the military and law enforcement arrest the corrupt if the government is shut down?
Shut. It. Down.
Lock. Her. Up.
Best. Election. Ever. EVER!
It is made for Trump, but it will NOT be reported in his favor.

Trump has smoked out all of his GOPe enemies in the Senate now. And they will ALL be de-elected.
Traitors!
McConnell shares Graham and Flake's views, he's just more diplomatic and circumspect about it.
Haven’t they learned anything?
When someone delivers Trump a threat he doubles down.
If we could do that and also place the illegals, Dreamers and a healthy number of muslim refugees in all the college towns and urban, white, liberal, hipster neighborhoods, in all the major cities of this country, I have a feeling things would change.
It’s easy to be supportive of this stuff when the only illegal you see is the guy cutting your lawn or the woman doing your laundry.
Twitter is going to explode.
He’s going to destroy them. Don’t be surprised if you see Flake and Graham switch parties.
don’t need an amendment for that. Just need to repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to the way it was supposed to be, when they wrote the Constitution. State legislatures send 2 people to represent the State, not special interests.
I have a feeling that the plans are already drawn up and Mulvaney is just waiting for the nod from the President to implement, said plan. All while digging into the CFPB so he can eliminate that extortion racket.
Come to think of it, what a perfect time to say that the CFPB is non-essential and will completely de-funded.
