This week, the government will run out of money on Friday, January
19th
. Once the clock strikes midnight, the government could be shut
down, unless a deal over immigration is hashed out this week. Earlier
thismonth,there was some hope. President Trump met with
congressional leaders from both parties and allowed the cameras to
capture the negotiation process for an extended period of time. There
seemed to be consensus over border security and DACA recipients.
How to move forward on the policy angle remained to be seen. Yes,
there was an ulterior motive with that as well; Trump wanted to dispel
that he was totally insane, which is something that’s being peddled
by liberals lusting to toss him out of office It did that, and then there
was the “s**thole countries” remark. It sent
liberal America into meltdown mode. They blew a gasket, some
stroked out.
Democrats said they would not support another government funding
measure unless a DACA deal is struck, a notable shift from
Democrats inthe past. In 2013, during the debt ceiling negotiations,
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called the legislative strategy of tying
immigration reformto budgetary matters—and threatening to shut
down the government in theprocess—as a path that would breed
“governmental chaos.” On Sunday, California Attorney General
Xavier Becerra appeared on Fox News Sundaywith Chris Wallace,
where he did his part trashing Republicans, but added that this
DACA deal should there be one, ought to be a stand-alone piece of
legislation.
