[FONT=&quot]I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!

Shut down the government over the great wall, and just before the midterm elections. Do you think Congress will actually allow that to happen?

 

[OrphanSlug]

Predictable, Trump starting the next mess.

Trump should have taken the bipartisan DACA deal offered last March. His wall would already be funded..

Do you think Congress will actually allow that to happen?

Certainly. Pacifying the GOP Freedom Caucus is more important than the welfare of our country.

Well the congress is controlled by the 'Capitalist' party and their 40 year platform has been power and money, so you be the judge.

I guess we'll just have to raise taxes on maybe consumption this time.

Oh wait, of course, our great conservative [sic] fiscally responsible [sic] small govt. [sic] congress...will borrow the money from our kids.

They will thank us for it. (or will they be spitting on our graves ?)

Why are you liberals so terrified of a 'government shutdown?'

Are country is harmed far more by a lack of secure borders than by some temporary and insignificant government shutdown.

not before the midterms.

Congress has a choice now.

1. Give Trump what he wants.

2. Shut down the government.

They know what'll happen in either case. The choice is their's. Whichever choice they make, they are responsible for it.

Trump just put THEM on the hot seat. LOL!!

We're not... let the President go ahead and shut down the Government during an election campaign. Republican Administration, Republican Congress... Geez, I wonder who's going to get the blame for that one?

Gotta admire the President's negotiating style... he puts a gun to his own head and threatens to pull the trigger unless we give in to his demands. *LOL*

Gets the blame for what? A non event?

 

[VanceMack]

Actually...the concern over a government shutdown comes from the ineptitude of congress and their continued failure to pass a ****ing budget.

Congress has a far better choice. Do their job. Congress has passed one budget in 9 years.

We'll see how much of a "non event" it is when retirees don't get their October Social Security checks.

I couldn't agree more! It's his government, let him shut it down, the sooner the better...

That would be nice, too, but it doesn't solve the situation Trump has placed them in.

So rather than deny the elderly their social security checks, why dont dems just approve some money for border security? Why are you willing to screw over American citizens like that in order to benefit non citizens?

 

[VanceMack]

Trump hasnt placed them in a situation. Thats a foolish comment. CONGRESS passed laws to build walls since 2006...yes...even people like Schumer, Obama, and HRC voted for them. And if congress did their job, NONE of this would be an issue.

Trump occupies your brain.

 

[Cordelier]

If that's the course he wants to take... after all, it's always been a tried-and-true method for Republican success in the past, hasn't it?

The past legislation you speak of was nothing more than useless token gestures that weren't even completed.

Trump has put them on the hot seat.

No. It wouldn't be. They were offering a 10% down payment. We fell for that one before. If Trump gives in to daca without getting the wall, getting rid of chain migration, getting rid of the lottery and every other stupid immigration policy, THAT will be his demise.

The Repubs own Congress, if they're not willing to compromise enough to get Democrats to sign up, it's on them. Why are you willing to screw over refugees? It does nothing to benefit Republicans except to help keep America white...

Interesting. Seems when the Dems were in control the Repubs were labeled the party of "no". Maybe, just maybe the Dems should go along with the Repubs. imo, it doesn't matter which party controls Congress. Congress is broken.

We're not the ones threatening to shut down the Government. If you want to debate border security, then let's debate it... let the President put up his plans and let the Democrats put up their's and then lets do some wheeling and dealing in Congress and come up with a bill that can pass and get signed into law. That's the way it ought to be done.

But all of these bull**** ultimatums and hollow threats by the President are meaningless. If he's truly serious about getting a border security deal, then he needs to start acting like a serious person and sit down at the table and start negotiating seriously.

Yes, Trump has put both the Congressional Dems and Reps on the hot seat. If they don't choose to get together and give Trump what he wants, they will be choosing to shut down the government.
