Yes. Now the Senate Democrats have a choice to make: Either side with US Citizens, OR screw hundreds of millions of US Citizens because they prioritize illegal aliens over our own country's citizens.

Pick a side, Dems. What's it going to be? Who do you champion? US Citizens? Or illegal aliens?

Tick tock...

US Government, a high school level course. Educate yourself.
No need for cloture as the Budget Act sets out a specific amount of time for debate in the Senate -- 50 hours.

Have any Democrats even threatened a filibuster? Even if they did, by the time Trump got back from Mar-a-Lago it would be over and the bill would be up for a majority vote.

Republicans can't get all their own guys lined up.

Though I read that some are working for a CR that last for a few days instead of a month.

Negated by DACA, NOT a budget item, being tied to it. Remove DACA, and have a clean vote.

Republicans can do this.

All they need to do is line up 51 votes for a clean bill.

Nope. Very real choice. And it's on PUBLIC display for all 300 million US Citizens to see.

Will Dems side with US Citizens? Or side against them in favor of illegal aliens?

Tick tock...

A number of Republicans are also not on board.

Will you now ask, "Will Republicans side with US Citizens? Or side against them in favor of illegal aliens?

Tick tock... "
