WASHINGTON -- Almost six in 10 Americans do not want another federal government shutdown over the Republican refusal to allow unauthorized immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to remain in the country, according to a poll released Monday.

With the current temporary spending bill set to expire Thursday, 59 percent in the Monmouth Poll said it would be unacceptable for congressional Democrats to oppose a budget deal even if the so-called dreamers remain in limbo for now. Just 36 percent said it would be acceptable for the Democrats to do so.

"

By 82 percent to 14 percent, Americans said the issues of the dreamers and the border wall should be handled separately.

The very first sentence in the article is a lie. Since Trump has already offered them DACA. This liberal news is nothing but crap and I won’t read the rest of it.

The only way Trump could get blamed is if he vetoes the next continuing resolution. Neither the Republicans or the Democrats came out looking that great so I’m sure both are anxious to avoid another one.

One more lame leg and he’ll have to sit down.

Shutting down the government as a pressure tactic to help 800,000 illegal aliens will go down as one of the dumbest political moves in decades. Chuck Schumer would have done less damage to the Democrat Party if he had donned a Klan outfit and burned a giant cross in front of the MLK memorial.

Hey, you idiots, it's called the "Schumer Shutdown" for a reason. The bias is so gross it would be funny if not so detrimental to our country.

Why can’t these bastards tell the truth? Trump already offered amnesty for 1.8 million spawn of illegals.

And something I'm sure Schumer is anxious not to repeat.

Wait, if there’s even temporarily LESS government, isn’t the issue the distribution of CREDIT, rather than blame?

The behavior of the Democrats during the SOTU is going to come back to haunt them. They clearly depicted themselves as the reactionaries who have their heels dug in.

Good point regarding the first sentence.

I noted the last sentence was extremely biased...maybe somewhat accurate, but definitely extremely biased. It states:

“That led to a three-day shutdown that ended when Senate Republicans agreed to allow votes on allowing the dreamers to remain in the U.S.”

Sounds a lot like the Republicans BUCKLED, when it was the Democrats.

This is what happens when THEY own the media.

Why all the melodrama about a “government shutdown”? Fire all the “non-essential workersessential and they don’t work. They’re not even worth office space.

Only the democrats that would never vote for Trump. The rest of us know who to blame.

Not one person with a brain thinks that Trump is the one who won’t deal....that means maybe up to 12% of Dems know their side is the problem.....
