my take on the shutdown is Trump, who I’m sure has had many labor relations experiences in his building / contracting businesses views this as a “ strike”.
Sometimes one needs to be taken to break the cycle of brinksmanship that is often at the heart of this.
Absolutely. No presidential signature on anything less than full government spending through September 30, 2019. And a clean spending bill.
The DACA pressure is on the Dems, not Trump. I would love to find out that the President could legally sign an EO to "get the busses running on March 19", the day after the previous EO runs out, and all of these illegals are officially recognized as illegals.
The advantage of running the busses to Mexico is that any other border destination would require that the DACA's either start swimming or have to speak French to avoid other legal troubles. At least when they get to Mexico they can just start walking.
Except...I’d like to see the “union” (govt) DECERTIFIED too!
