    Details of senators’ immigration deal: 10% of Trump border wall, 3% cut to chain migration
    Sources familiar with the bill said it would offer a generous pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrant Dreamers that goes well beyond just the 700,000 people currently protected under the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty.

    The proposal also eliminates the Diversity Visa Lottery, as Mr. Trump demanded — but it uses those visas to create a new amnesty for hundreds of thousands of other would-be illegal immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and other countries who have suffered from natural disasters and have been living in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status.

    Added to this via "chain migration" are the relatives of the Dreamers.

    All added together, Democrats demand adding millions more illegal immigrates to voter rolls. That is singularly what the issue is about - and there is even a memo stating that is 100% the motive of the Democrats. They don't care if Americans die, they don't care about Americans or the United States. They care about adding millions of uneducated foreign socialists to voter rolls.

    Yes it does, just as no border wall/fence does. "Chain migration" means if one gets in, then all their relatives get to come in and become voters too.

    Democrats support more border fencing and more patrol personnel.

    Democrats don't need more immigrants for political control.

    :) Fake Alt Right Media is failing today in the news cycle.

    Americans are very unhappy with Trump and the majority party. Majority. The American people understand majority.

    numbers don't lie.

    democrats controlled Congress most of the last 50 years, before the 1965 immigration act made any difference.

    Still lying about that?

    The Graham Durbin proposal had limits on what you call chain migration.

    If you want more than that have the GOP CONGRESS propose a comprehensive immigration bill. For all this...whereis THAT?

    Don't shut down the government over it

    Here is a perfect example of libs' condescending attitude toward the American voter and progressive dream that the people are uninformed and can be easily fooled.

    Newsflash, come election campaign, people start paying attention... That the House and the Senate passed the budget and the Dems filibustered it depriving American troops and American children of desperately needed funding for the sake of amnesty for illegals will be in every republican's campaign speech and in every republican commercial.... lest we forget, in every widely publicized President's tweet.

    When the Democrats have to explain why they won't approve the budget I think people will get it. There is nothing in the budget that they are opposing, they are using illegals, a totally unrelated matter to hold the govt hostage. Americans don't like hostage takers.

    Nope. Republicans own this 100%. They could have passed any budget bill they wanted with reconciliation. They chose to shut down government instead.

    The DP is dreaming again.

    "Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said Wednesday there's "very, very strong" sentiment among his party's lawmakers to oppose GOP-drafted legislation that would only keep the government's doors open for four weeks past a looming Friday deadline. Schumer did not say his caucus was entirely unified, but the rhetoric signaled growing chances that a stop-gap measure could come up short of votes in the Senate and federal agencies could begin closing their doors Friday at midnight."

    CBS, Democrats dig in on immigration, shutdown risk or no, JAN 18, 2018 8:00 AM EST POLITICS, AP.
    https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/democrats-dig-in-on-immigration-shutdown-risk-or-no/

    As soon as Trump called this the "Schumer Shutdown" it was "Game Over" for the DP.

    Its actually juat the violent alt left that cares more about personality than they do policy and results.


    Skip the personality and you have a pretty successful first 13 months. Even more so when you consider the fact that he is a political outsider thats not even well liked within his own party.

    You mean like Handy Biden or the real fossil Bernie? Seems lately young Americans won't leave their parent's houses. Good luck with that.
    2018 Dem campaign solgans. We shut down the govt denying CHIP kids HC coverage. We didn't want to give Americans tax breaks. We shut down the govt so our military can't be paid on time. Yeah run on that.

    60 votes that the Reps don't have.
    Dems didn't oppose one thing in the proposed budget, they got all they wanted. Dems decided to throw a completely different/separate topic, 'Dreamers' into the conversation and shut down the govt.

    This criticism just doesn't work for me. It cuts both ways - why are Republicans shutting the government down over this issue? Remember, they have majority control and the presidency, so it's ultimately up to them, not the Democrats.

    It's the Republicans refusing to pass the budget with DACA included. There is no criticism you can direct at the Democrats that can't be turned right back on the Republicans, who ultimately have more power over the situation anyway.
