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:

More importantly, once things re-open, don't retroactively pay any non-essential bills!
Oh, shove it! You are giving him ultimatums? And youll come up with another next week that will do him in, too, huh?
Puny god.
Yup, just consider how many ‘public servants’ are just a useless drain on the treasury.
Military, law-enforcement...etc. Those are the things that the fedgov was constitutionally meant to provide.
All else was meant to devolve to the states... we are supposed to have 50, mostly independent states, each striving to do what’s best for their citizens... and let the people choose which ones are a success and vote with their feet.
An over-powerful, national government will always evolve into a monster...it is human nature, only a Republic has a chance to defend against such... never a democracy.
Great post!
Trump, PLEASE, Tweet this and put it on Facebook every single minute. The whole of this country must know that they prefer illegal aliens over American citizens.
They want to shut down the government over people that aren’t supposed to be in the country in the first place. For foreigners. That really makes me want to get out of bed to vote for these jackasses. Talk about foreign agents. Congress is full of them. Spit.
NO, IT’S NOT 800,000-—DEMOCRATS BUSTED:
There are 3.6M ‘DREAMers’ a number far greater than commonly known. And they are saying a whopping 38+ Million illegals are in our country - not 12 million as touted in 1996.
Where is his loyalty?
Let them shut it down.
The military is still paid, as the National Emergency EO of 12/21/17 is in effect.
Besides, once the House Intelligence memo is released, the Dems will not be worrying about DACA anymore.
It will all be CACA for them.
Your right Jim let that left wing Senator from South Carolina and Arizona shut the government down..
“If McConnell had a backbone, most of this countrys problems would disappear.”
McConnell and Ryan are getting Exactly what they want.
And what are those things Trump should do to hurt the dems as much as possible? You left the most important part out.
This puts the President in a VERY difficult position, because it involves the military not getting paid, and you can call it caving or not, but I just can’t see him allowing the military to go unpaid. And the RINOs know this.
Couldn’t agree more.
Flake claims Trump is Stalin on two recent occasions. Then wonders why Trump won’t do as he commands. Stuff it, snowFlake!
Dollars to donuts they Graham and Flake are both pedophiles with plenty of evidence held against them.
He’s the chief executive officer and commander in chief. If the congress abdicates its responsibility to fund the necessary and constitutionally authorized departments of government, then he should declare a state of emergency and take emergency measures to see that the essential departments are operating as long as the money holds out. If it means shuttering the epa, hud, labor dept, energy dept, education dept, usda, and a whole host of other ABC agencies then shutter them. If it means terminationd a whole passel of unconstitutionally politicized and weaponized judges and shutting down half the federal judiciary, then shut it down. If it means not funding planned parenthood, Obamacare, the UN, foreign aid, and a whole bunch of other nonessential crap, then pull their funding. If it means cutting the rest of the feds by 50% or more, then cut them. If it means not funding and not subsidizing a bunch of money wasting (bullet train to nowhere) liberal sanctuary states, then stop funding and subsidizing them. If it means not funding universities and schools that propagandize and brain-wash our youth with godless marxist claptrap, then stop funding or subsidizing them. But his primary duty is the defense of the nation so he should fully fund the military and border security!
Have Trump threaten to read the FISA Memo during SOTU if they don’t pass what HE wants.
xlnt, hell read it anyway and have video or graphics.
So, if they veto-proof this, then what?
