President Donald Trump has signed into law a bill that ends the government shutdown, and provides congressional negotiators with additional time to hammer out an immigration reform package capable of passing both the House and Senate.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are expected to return to work on Tuesday morning, after spending the day Monday on furlough.

The bill funds the government for 17 days, and it funds the popular CHIP children's insurance program for six years. It does not include a permanent fix for the Obama-era DACA program, which Senate Democrats had originally demanded.

It does not include a permanent fix for the Obama-era DACA program,

There is only one acceptable solution for 0bama's illegal executive amnesty: DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS. NO exceptions.

The COUNTRY got SCHLONGED!

No budget in over 10 years, CRs to infinitum, 1 trillion dollar + annual deficits and unfunded liabilities of 300- 400 TRILLION dollars....

And yet here we go again Groundhog Day another CR

So now ICE won’t start deporting illegals March 5? If not, why not?
I suppose I won’t have a cow, as I did earlier when I heard McConnell said they were willing to talk “immigration reform”.
But I’m sure other deplorable, non-compassionate conservatives would like to know—if not March 5th, then when? These scofflaws have worn out their welcome, and a long time ago. November 8th to be exact.

Love it! LOL

I think I love our president the most because he has such a wonderful sense of humor and we are all laughing again.

Ryan did pass a regular budget last October. It’s at the Senate waiting action. There are hundreds of bills like this.

Why do illegal aliens and their spawn have more clout in the U.S. Congress than do American citizens?

[firebrand]

Two congressmen supposed to show up in NYC tonight had to cancel their respective appearances at the last minute so they could be part of negotiations. One Dem and one Repub.

Good on them. They are doing the people’s work. What we are paying them for.

[Magnum44]

Hadn’t heard that. Where do you get that from?

[Yosemitest]

What does ”WOULD WEIGH” mean of

’the Senate would weigh immigration proposals
that would shield approximately 800,000 immigrants
who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children
IF Democrats agreed to end the shutdown.’ ?

Here's the source from TheHill.com.
Also :

"... Schumer said
McConnell has committed that if negotiators fail to reach an immigration deal before the stopgap spending measure expires on Feb. 8
“the Senate will immediately proceed to consideration of legislation” to protect "Dreamers." ..."

So !
We get to go through this CRAP all over again IN THREE WEEKS !
Turtleneck needs to pull his head out his @$$ and grow a SPINE !

[trebb]

It’s still a smart move as it defangs the Left when it comes to the really big issues at hand....

[eartick]

Agree. NOT-winning
