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:

F them. Shut it down for as long as you want.
Linda Graham wants to legalize invaders to take our country from us. He is an enemy of the people.
Graham and whose army will raise the necessary votes?
In 2015, Trump promised to terminate DACA on his first day as president.
To accomplish that, Trump could have written a binding Executive Order on his first day as president that said...
“The DACA kids and their parents are unlawfully present in the USA. I order the Secretary of Homeland Security to remove all of them.”
The language in that theoretical Executive Order comes directly from the relevant federal statute - The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
Since Trump's order would have been a lawful administration of a lawful statute, it could not be challenged in court.
Instead, breaking his campaign promise, Trump ignored DACA for seven months.
Then, in September 2017, ten Republican state Attorneys General threatened to sue Trump over DACA, forcing Trump to act.
Trump chose not to write a binding Executive Order that would terminate DACA.
Instead, Trump instructed Attorney General Jeff Sessions to write to the Secretary of Homeland Security and tell her that DACA was an unconstitutional order and should not be enforced.
The Trump-Sessions memo to the DHS Secretary was disingenuous.
Both Trump and Sessions clearly understand that no federal court in the country would allow Jeff Sessions to decide what is - or is not - constitutional.
A federal judge in San Francisco rejected the Sessions memo, and DACA is currently being enforced almost exactly as it was when Trump took office.
Bottom Line...
Trump will never deport any illegal immigrants unless they have been convicted of a felony.
I suspect bad advisers and conflicting advice. Hence the turnover.
This is all kabuki to distract from the FISA sedition news coming out tomorrow.
No Wall! No daca!
Shut it down!
Trump would make a deal with them on DACA.. but they won’t make a deal with him on the wall and chain immigration and a few other items.
The republicans finally have a strong leader who won’t buckle and they still can’t stand on their feet and fight the dems... they still want to give in.
Go home and let some of us out here sit in your seat...this is ridiculous.
RINO, actually. Not a real Republican, but he sometimes plays one on TV.
Graham a total scumbag. He’s quoted as sayingb “America not yoir countryb America belongs to the world”
TYRANNY IS THY NAME REBELLION IS OUR ANSWER. HANG THEM ALL!
Trump needs to send them to the woodshed!
The civil service ban on the remaining strike participants was lifted by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
The President invoked the law that striking government employees forfeit their jobs, an action that unsettled those who cynically believed no President would ever uphold that law.
President Reagan's director of the United States Office of Personnel Management at the time, Donald J. Devine, argued:
"Journalists are shoulder-chipped playground kids afraid of being beat up...so, they write.
Hahahahaha...so true.
Let them shut down the country for the stated benefit of a pack of poorly educated, criminal illegal aliens. The DemoRats want the American people to suffer, want the economy to decline all for these pack of wetbacks. Just remember the DemoRats and RINOs at the next election. They don't care a bit about you the American citizens; they are looking out for their own political future only.
- Last Action Hero (which kinda describes Trump right now)
Let ‘em shut it down. Government workers will STILL get paid. What happens is that non-essential operations stop, but mission essential operations continue. Therefore all the non-essential gov employees will be home or out shopping.
And we’re worried about this???
You are not telling me nothing.
He is also splitting his speaking time for his now ankle bracelet wearing communist boyfriend that tried to overthrow our elected President with a coup d’ etat.
That is ok, President Trump has Gitmo ready for all of these bass turds
I like it!
