Someone must have told them shutting down the government for illegal invaders wasn’t a winning strategy.

DACA was never legal.
Obama just made it up on his own without any legal authority.
Trump extended it until March to give the Congress time to make it legal.
It ends in March if nothing is done.
That’s exactly what should be done, nothing.

Each one of these have financial vested interest in the continuance of illegal immigration.

Perhaps some intrepid conservative investigative reporter can expose what that financial benefit is.

Amnesty will not pass in the House.

Let the Amnesty Pimps in the Senate expose themselves with a
amnesty vote in time for 2018 primaries.

Ending chain migration is more important than The Wall.

To save the working class in this country, we have to have all 4 of these:

-End chain migration
-Build the wall
-National E-verify
-End diversity Lottery

These are absolute non-negotiable minimums.

We also need many more immigration judges, an end to the anchor baby system, elimination of municipal/state sanctuary status, many more border agents etc. etc. etc.

Our current system is like time-release cyanide. It is certain to kill us if we don’t eliminate it completely.

81-18

Looks like the Dems told Schumer where to stick it.

Schumer must be pi**** out of his head.

Before the shutdown, Trump’s approval as per Rasmussen was at 45%, where it had been for a few days. There was no apparent impact from sh#tholegate. Today, however, approval was 42%, so it is premature, at the very least, to say Trump isn’t/won’t pay a political price for similar shutdowns in the future.

WINNING MAGA!!

Trump and even Yertle the Turtle pinned the shutdown on that POS Chuck Schumer.

Our mantra must continue to be: Democrats care more about illegal immigrants than they do about the military, children’s healthcare and national security.

They think the “dreams” of illegal immigrant “chidren” are more important than the dreams of our own children. Shame on them!! Shame on them!!!

Build the wall!!! Do extreme vetting of DACA illegal immigrants and deport the ones with criminal records, associated with gangs and drugs, the chronically unemployed and on welfare, and the ones not assimiliating, not going to school, etc.

End chain migration! End lottery migration!!! Build the wall! America first! Americans first!!

Final vote to turn the government back on: 81-18, and Trump made no concessions on DACA. For a moronic, demented incompetent who’s unqualified for the job, he sure does keep winning a lot. https://t.co/IFTVk846gh

Ok, so here, we see what happens when Dems actually do proper polling. They did some polls, realized they were on the losing end of this fight and quickly changed course.

The Illegals over the rest of us, was a MAJOR loser of a fight.... and 81% of senators polled agreed...

Trump and McC seem willing to permit DACA without the wall.

"Seem" is the operative word. This outcome is a complete loss of face for the Dem leadership.
