You do realize that Durbin came into that meeting with new requirements and shot the whole deal to hell.

It was supposed to be DACA with no strings attached and end chain immigration.

According to Roll Call, Ryan doesn't have even enough votes in the House for a 4-week Continuing Resolution.

Yup, which is why Republicans need to be in the minority and voters are going to put them there soon enough.

I think 75% of the shut down will be on Trump and the rest on Republicans because they do not want to govern. Last week Trump said he would sign a bill to keep the government running they came up with a bill and this week no says hell no I am not signing jack now. I guess Trump Sh--hole comment is the reason why he will not sign anything bet he will claim he never said he w would sign a bill even though there is video saying he would what a huuuuuuuuuuuuge A clown.

It's a great gig. Run on a "Government is bad!" platform, then govern badly to prove it.

Stop with the over the top melodrama. The DACA kids aren't threatening anyone's safety. Nearly nine out of 10 Americans know this. Why don't you?

You must forget DACA was defeated by congress and Obama thought he knew better than our elected officials. DACA should be dropped because it should never have happened. They have their names. Load them up and ship them out. Make America great again. If they are such wonderful people they can make their home country better.
