Trump signs bill to end government shutdown
CNBC ^ | Jan. 22, 2018 | Christina Wilkie

Posted on 01/22/2018 6:44:02 PM PST by Innovative

President Donald Trump has signed into law a bill that ends the government shutdown, and provides congressional negotiators with additional time to hammer out an immigration reform package capable of passing both the House and Senate.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are expected to return to work on Tuesday morning, after spending the day Monday on furlough.

The bill funds the government for 17 days, and it funds the popular CHIP children's insurance program for six years. It does not include a permanent fix for the Obama-era DACA program, which Senate Democrats had originally demanded.

There is only one acceptable solution for 0bama's illegal executive amnesty: DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS. NO exceptions.

So now ICE won’t start deporting illegals March 5? If not, why not?
I suppose I won’t have a cow, as I did earlier when I heard McConnell said they were willing to talk “immigration reform”.
But I’m sure other deplorable, non-compassionate conservatives would like to know—if not March 5th, then when? These scofflaws have worn out their welcome, and a long time ago. November 8th to be exact.

Love it! LOL

I think I love our president the most because he has such a wonderful sense of humor and we are all laughing again.

Ryan did pass a regular budget last October. It’s at the Senate waiting action. There are hundreds of bills like this.

Why do illegal aliens and their spawn have more clout in the U.S. Congress than do American citizens?

Two congressmen supposed to show up in NYC tonight had to cancel their respective appearances at the last minute so they could be part of negotiations. One Dem and one Repub.

Good on them. They are doing the people’s work. What we are paying them for.

It’s still a smart move as it defangs the Left when it comes to the really big issues at hand....
