If you haven't noticed, right now the Trump base has complete control over this country. Most Americans also support legal marijuana and LGBTQ rights as well but our nation is moving the other way on those issues because of Trump's rural evangelical base.
Funny, Obama and the rest of the dems had control of the government for a time. They were able to fight for LGBT rights, but they didn't even bother touching the marijuana issue. I guess their big pharma donors were completely against that.

Or it was the fact that Obama pretty much went by public opinion polls when it came to social issues. The numbers weren't quite there on marijuana until the tail end of the Obama Presidency. It took him until 2012 to come around on gay marriage because of the polls.
Trump is the same way but instead of playing to public opinion, he plays to the desire of his small but very vocal base and is thus on the wrong side of every social issue.
I'm ok with it if you are referring to dreamers - brought here before the age of 10 by the parents through no fault of their own.
They have citizenship and all the benefits thereof in their countries of birth. But American citizens screwed over by the gov't shutdown have nowhere else to go.
I am a registered Democrat & I am ashamed of my party. If you want to protect the dreamers then agree to the wall. Give to get. Immediate problem over, government stays open & situation for now resolved.
These dreamers are illegal immigrants. They have broken the law. Are there what, a million of them? And yet, my party wants to hold this entire country of hundreds of millions hostage because of them.
The democrats used to be the defenders of the middle class. Where did my party go? It has abandoned me, a loyal voter who consistently supported straight democrat tickets on the ballots. Not the case anymore.

That means you were never a democrat if you are for the useless repubs, the party of responsibility that blames everyone for their failures in govt and the American people,
We all understand that it's illegal to come into this country by illegal means got it.
I am willing to bet that MOST if not all of you would be willing to break the law to provide a better life for your family, you might not admit it on here to save face but in the end you would.
I am blown away that a party who has control of both houses and presidency, will close down the government. That would be a first in history!
If Dems consider the DACA issue so important why didn't they do anything about it when Dems were in power?
