Schumer Shutdown: Dems want shutdown to protect illegals!

[C_Hallbert]

Personally, I would prefer that the Democrats really take the betterment of the nation to heart. That, in turn, might get the Republicans to take the betterment of the nation to heart and both parties could accomplish things for American and it citizens. The Democratic Party is currently hurting for elected offices and in acquiring campaign monies, leaving them in a weakened state. I would prefer that both parties be relatively strong and in competition with each other to better the country instead of their own well being.

I’m a life long Republican and find the rural Oklahoma ‘Old’Southern Democrats very compatible with my political beliefs. However, these are not Liberal Leftist Democrats as you find up in the Eastern Block or the South Coast because there is a lot of Old Fashion Common Sense in this region.

Disagree. Democrats are to blame for this shutdown. There is no reason to have brought DACA, a totally separate issue, into funding the government.

An op/ed from CNN admitted Shumer failed as well.

I found Schumer's hat that he is now selling to compete with Trump's hat.



Oh, and Schumer is not making any friends with his base!!!

Liberals livid after deal to end shutdown
Activist groups were angry at how the negotiations turned out, with some calling it '#SchumerSellout.'

Liberal activists are furious with Democratic senators after most of them agreed to reopen the federal government without a firm path to shielding young immigrants from deportation.

As the third day of the shutdown dawned, liberal advocates and immigration groups fired off a joint statement blasting as “unacceptable” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s offer merely to hold a vote on immigration — with no promises for action from the House or White House — in exchange for Democratic votes to reopen the government. But three hours later, Democratic senators agreed to just those terms — sparking anger on the left.


“Millions of people flooded the streets of every major American city to stand up to Trump this weekend,” tweeted Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of the influential activist network Indivisible. “Your constituents want you to fight. How can you possibly not understand that?”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday argued Democrats secured critical assurance for Dreamers, who are at risk for deportation as soon as March after President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

“We have a way to address the fate of the Dreamers, starting right now instead of waiting until March,” Schumer said on the floor.

But activist groups that have provided his caucus crucial firepower during fights against GOP health care and tax bills were not buying that explanation.

Murshed Zaheed, political director of the liberal group CREDO Action, said Democrats’ decision shows Schumer’s willingness to betray progressives.

“Call it the #SchumerSellout,” he said in an interview. “Hashtagged.”

Ben Wikler, Washington director of MoveOn.org, slammed McConnell’s offer to Democrats and lamented the minority’s splintering over protecting Dreamers.

“What’s clear from today’s joke deal is that the grass-roots movement demanding unity and courage has a lot of work to do to ensure that the whole Democratic Caucus is ready to fight when the time comes,” he said in an interview.

United We Dream Executive Director Cristina Jiménez, whose group has mobilized its grass roots to push for Dreamer protection, tweeted that “Dems failed to fight & use their leverage to protect immigrant youth. A false promise to vote on immigration from Rs is not a strategy to win. We won’t be fooled. This vote means deportation.”

If they would let Trump do his thing I would bet he will come up with a plan that would lead to citizenship that most would be happy with. They are protesting and fighting him before giving him a chance to fix it.

And that had nothing to do with the government shutdown in the fall of 2013, two different situations.

So much for trusting a Democrat to follow through on a promise!

Schumer withdraws offer on Trump's wall
Republicans aligned with Trump are unlikely to go for any bill that does not offer a major boost in border wall funding.

Chuck Schumer is taking his big spending boost for Donald Trump’s border wall off the table.

The Senate minority leader, through an aide, informed the White House on Monday that he was retracting the offer he made last week to give Trump well north of the $1.6 billion in wall funding Trump had asked for this year, according to two Democrats. And now they say Trump will simply not get a better deal than that on his signature campaign promise.

Correct, furlough based on sequester is what I was referring to.
