Is the democratic party responsible for the US government shutdown?
Alright, so the US government has shutdown over 5 billion dollars that the democratic party and the "establishment" refuses to grant the US government to spend on the Mexico border. Considering the US government annual spending of 2500 billion dollars per year, of which 5 billion is barely 0.2%, is this a reasonable reason for the democratic party in the US to refuse the spending of 5 billion and to cause the ongoing government shutdown? 5 billion is not even 1% of what the US spends on defence each year. If the demoratic party said yes to the 5 billion spending, the government shutdown would be over immediately. Could they do it? Are there good enough reasons not to do it?

Both sides are responsible. Doesn't matter who said that they would own it. Doesn't matter which side is blaming who. It takes two to tango. Both sides could have stopped this from happening in the first place. Both sides could end it RIGHT NOW.
Mexico will pay for it, not how you want, but they will. There are millions of illegals working here, and a good chunk of them don't pay taxes. They do, however, send a BILLIONS back home. From CNN "Mexicans sent home $26.1 billion from January to November 2017, according to figures released Tuesday by the central bank of Mexico. That's the most ever recorded and better than the $24.1 billion sent in 2016 over the same period. "
In addition, illegal immigration also costs us BILLIONS a year. To think that it won't cost Mexico and won't help us if we spend $6 Billion is an outlandish belief.

The wall isn't going to be built....deal with it....
no. Trump is.
He was elected by the people to build a damn wall. The only reason the Democrats want to stop it is because Trump. It's stupid.
I don't have a dog in this race but people are now being hurt because of politicians playing some political game.
Build the Wall.
Mexico is paying for the wall, so the point is moot.
