Chuck Schumer Just Lost The Shutdown, Bigly !
It’s amazing how quickly Democrats lost the shutdown battle before it was even really joined. In return for an overwhelming vote to reopen the government, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer extracted little more than a commitment to bring up immigration within the next three weeks – something Republicans were likely to do anyway, coupled with pressure for increased enforcement and border security funding. And even that fell far short of what Democrats had claimed to demand with this shutdown – a real commitment to solve the DACA issue. Schumer’s message in 2013 that if Democrats shut down the government over immigration it would be ‘a politics of idiocy’ now looks more like an ignored warning to Future Chuck.

Only a Liberal can Cry and Defend "Illegals" over Actual U.S. Citizens !
We are told by Liberals that DACA recipients shouldn't have to pay for the crimes of their parents , but we are being held responsible for the actions of our ancestors by Liberals !
Does that make sense ?
No wonder Liberalism is dying and this "Illegal" thing has become a JOKE !
Time to Follow the "LAW" of this land on "Illegals" !
i understand the spin from conservatives in congress but could it be that the Dems intent was not to shut down the Gov at all, it just happened to be a by product of Congress not wanting to pass another CR until all the issues had been addressed and instead pushed thorough a budget they knew would not pass hoping to paint the Dems into a corner.
The Dems didn't bite and a CR was passed and discussions continue. Sounds like a Win for the Dems and a well played by Chuck.
