GOP Senators Send Trump ‘Amnesty-Or-Shutdown’ Threat
Breitbart ^ | Jan 18, 2018 | by NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 01/18/2018 6:47:56 PM PST by Jim Robinson

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:

Amen. The chief executive has the constitutional authority to do both! If they don’t fund it, shut it down! The chief executive can decide which functions are non-essential and shutter the doors. And hhe has the authority to declassify and publish the FISA report. Just do it.

Trump has been more consistent in following through with his campaign promises than any of the GOPe.

He does have a backbone. He displays it against conservatives. McConnell is a liberal.

It looks like Gramesty has sided with the illegal alien invaders over the U.S. military. Military personnel need to remember this.

Looking at this another way, it's the dems and rinos re-starting a version of “slavery”.

Bringing foreign people here...housing them, schooling them, feeding them, all for what? Well, in slavery it was a one-time payment for cheap labor....but these days, it's continuous payment for cheap labor.

Dems want it. Rinos want it. The US Chamber of Commerce wants it. Not to mention most elitist liberals.

The lower paying, $h/+ jobs can be passed down to the cheap labor brigade. Americans then get higher paying jobs...just like during slavery.

The unsuspecting bank of neuvo-slaves will enjoy the best lives every, be paid for it, and have stylish housing, free education, and even...a car, or two.

The “auction block” is now the Congress of the the United States...by granting the new wards everything they need to live, it's a bidding process for...yep...the cheapest labor.

In return for this, the only serious “indenturement” required is to always vote democrat. That's it! No monetary paybacks, and in most cases, not taxation, whatsoever.

The affected ($h/_+Hole) countries love it, they get rid of the poorest that affect their countries, and the ex-pats send hoards of American dollars home to pump up their economy (dictators coffers).

So, it's just really “Modified Slavery”, a form of insurance for a future of socialistic and oppressive dictators taking over our “land of the free”.

I've seen their plan to turn Red states to Blue, using these dreamers, for a democrat future. And with a gimme a free living plan, they'll multiply exponentially, beginning with their entire “extended families” and their spouses’ “extended families”.

What then? Well, then...our Grandchildren will also be living in a $h1+Hole country.

Make no mistake....it's not a refugee plan, it's an INVASION. America is about to start downhill at a rapid pace.

I'm 72, and I could say, “well...not much skin off my nose”...but it is for my kids, my grandkids, and great-great, etc.

Our great-great-great-great grandparents risked their lives, and fortunes, for us...should be do the same?

Yup! Shut it down and send the Fools on the Hill home. No pay, no kickbacks, no bribes until the government reopens.

Arizonans abd South Carolinians must start bombarding Flake and Grahams offices in their states.

I can't speak for Arizona. But I CAN speak for South Carolina.

Trying to contact linda is a waste of time (been there, tried to do that). He's got a job for life*. What does he care?

*SC has open primaries which linda and the RATS use to maximum advantage. As a result, the chances of her losing a general election are slim and none.

If McConnell had a backbone, most of this country’s problems would disappear.

Good to know, thanks! That sounds like a PARTY decision, that Trump should be able to fairly easily control. Hopefully he's taken note, as more Gardner's are the LAST thing we need.
