Everyday the Trump border wall government shutdown goes on?
Democrats and even more Republicans dig in against Trump’s wishes….
Trump rescinded DACA in September 2017 and gave Congress six months to enact replacement legislation. Congress failed to come to an agreement, but Trump’s order was swiftly challenged in the courts, and a 9th Circuit decision ultimately forced the Department of Homeland Security to continue issuing DACA benefits to new applicants.
Given DACA’s success in court so far, some Democrats are flummoxed by the administration’s bullish attitude toward a favorable judicial resolution.
“Maybe they realized that people weren’t going to take a deal, and so to get involved in a big lengthy negotiation around some ephemeral deal that never actually turns out to be something that Democrats could accept,” said Jayapal.
Some Republicans are dismayed that the administration would seek a court victory rather than a legislative agreement.
“I don’t agree with that perspective, even though I’m a huge friend and fan of the vice president. I’m tired of the courts dictating public policy. It’s the legislative branch, let’s exercise our responsibilities on this,” said Thompson.
Ocasio-Cortez said “the administration is grasping at straws.”
“I don’t know if it’s because they’re trying to cover for the fact that they can’t even offer that — we’re going to reject it. We’re not going to exchange DACA for a wall. We’re not going to save one part of a family to expend another part. We’re not going to separate families. They know we’re not going to separate families, they know we’re not going to tolerate that deal and right now they’re just grasping for an excuse to not offer it because they know we’re going to reject it,” she said….

Thousands of illegal aliens who have committed sexual crimes against children are right now in Texas prisons. Most came through our Southern Border. We can end this easily – We need a Steel Barrier or Wall. Walls Work! John Jones, Texas Department of Public Safety. @FoxNews

The damage done to our Country from a badly broken Border – Drugs, Crime and so much that is bad – is far greater than a Shutdown, which the Dems can easily fix as soon as they come back to Washington!
