McConnell to call for vote on Trump’s protection of ‘Dreamers’
NY Post ^ | January 20, 2019 | Mark Moore

“The legislation that the majority leader will bring to the floor this week would both reopen the remaining portions of the government, fund disaster relief, fund border security and address immigration issues that both Republicans and Democrats would like to address — all in one bill,” Don Stewart, McConnell’s deputy chief of staff, told the New York Times in an interview.

McConnell aims to put pressure on Democrats who have said they will not negotiate with Trump on his wall until the government reopens.

Stewart said the legislative package would include seven appropriation bills that would fund agencies that have been closed for 30 days.

He said McConnell hopes to see the package passed by Friday so that the government could reopen and federal workers could get a scheduled paycheck.

Deal is off the table. Dims said so. Too bad, so sad.

The article doesn’t say explicitly that the bill funds building the wall. Anybody know for sure?

“Perhaps some furloughed bureaucrats should begin stalking those legislators and interrupting their restaurant meals, or something.”

I’d pay money to see that! But they won’t, the Liberal mind doesn’t work that way. They would seemingly starve to death for the sake of their “ideals!”

Can you imagine what we could achieve with a simple majority vote?

Here is a Charlie Kirk video on our Southern Border from last October.... (drugs, human trafficking...)

This is just as pertinent this minute as it was then....is Nancy Pelosi in the drug business?
