President Trump said the Democratic Party is unwilling to work with him on negotiations over the expiring DACA and would let the federal government shut down to get blanket amnesty. “The Democrats want to shut down the Government over Amnesty for all and Border Security. The biggest loser will be our rapidly rebuilding Military, at a time we need it more than ever. We need a merit based system of immigration, and we need it now! No more dangerous Lottery,” Trump tweeted Tuesday..." https://www.infowars.com/trump-dems-want-to-shut-down-government-over-amnesty-for-all/ We don't need illegals. Period! No Amnesty, period!
"Dems are minority, how can they cause a shutdown? Cons can pass any bill or any budget they want." Unless there is a filibuster in the senate, in which case 60 votes are needed. If the democrats filibuster this Friday the shutdown would rest squarely on their shoulders, and so would the pain caused by such a shutdown. The bottom line is, are the democrats willing to inflict pain on American citizens while defending the idea that illegals have the same rights as American citizens? We'll know soon enough.
why? its a charade anyway. the dems will try an make it hurt more than it should, but they will keep the important stuff open. The important stuff, parks and a little bit more is all the federal govt should really be doing anyway.
Budget bills don't need a super majority, 50 votes is enough with Pence acting as tiebreaker if needed. That's how they passed their corporate tax cuts. So what's the next excuse?
