The BETTER OPTION is to simply SAY NO. DHS will still operate...but Obama’s boys will have to EXPLAIN TO THE COUNTRY that DHS isn’t being paid because the President DEMANDS AMNESTY for millions of Illegals.

Exactly.

...and the KEY THING is that the Democrats WILL NOT do that.

They had their chance Friday. The House had just voted down (thanks to Pelosi, mainly) the 3-week extension (because they didn’t get the full-year funding), and the Republicans were not (yet) ready to cave to Obama.

It looked like a shutdown...for sure. But then, after REJECTING the 3 week shutdown, the Dems decided a week shutdown was ok? No, the Dems knew they could NEVER JUSTIFY a shutdown in defense of the President...and therefore they prevented the shutdown.

In other words, the Dems WILL NOT permit a shutdown and will AGREE TO ANYTHING to keep DHS running. The BIG QUESTION is whether the Republicans can figure that out.

I’m not too optimistic, unfortunately.
