This is a remarkable abdication of any responsibility for actions taken in contravention of the public desire that will hurt hundreds of thousands of people.
Herein lies the truth. Americans want humane immigration, but they also want cheap sh!t. You can't have both.
Who implemented the short sighted DACA to begin with? Trump ran on a nationalist and populist platform, with inmigration squarely in his sights. DACA was a bandaid. It always hurts to rip off a bandaid. Democrat Senators have to dig in on DACA because all of their presidential hopefuls are currently out sprinting one another to claim the far left.
Which part of the Republicans controlling the House, Senate, and White House do you fail to understand?

Lol, what else is new. That place operates in an alternate dimension.
Also apparently the WH has said that Trump will not go to Florida until the government is funded. As late as yesterday he was going to headline a 100K a ticket party to celebrate the anniversary of his inauguration at Mar-a-Lago. He's not gonna be pleased lol.
What part of a government shutdown being on the heads of Dems that won't fund the government is it that you fail to understand?
Really, what would you say to my dad? Something like "Oh! sorry you followed the rules to become a citizen, we were only kidding. Anyone that that breaks our laws and can manage to get within our boarders half the same rights and privileges you do as a naturalized citizen. To make sure the illegal immigrants can get all the benefits of living in the United States we are going to stop proving to you those benefits."
Again, how is that not fucked up?

Immigration reform should be a topic completely independent from a decision on whether or not to fund the government, but Trump thrives on chaos and both parties are digging in during an election year, so here we are.This is a remarkable abdication of any responsibility for actions taken in contravention of the public desire that will hurt hundreds of thousands of people.
Just for clarification:
Someone brought here as an infant that now is working should be deported correct?
Someone brought here as a child and served in the Military should be deported?
I just want to make sure you understand what this is about.

- Can become president.".. Anyone that that breaks our laws ..
Both those apply to my dad. Would you like to see his United States Navy decorations? His naturalization papers?
So again, why should his government stop proving him services over people that aren't US citizens?

That's quite the logical leap. DACA was a poor decision. You cannot enact immigration reform through executive edict. It was a temporary fix.Not acting like a dick to people who only know this country and are here through no fault of their own is now "far left".
So common decency is something that you now attribute to extreme liberals.
Immigration and citizenship is a very costly path for those who do not have the luxury of crossing a border. Should we refund the thousands of dollars immigrants typically have to spend to obtain citizenship? That would be fair and decent.

I give you credit for sticking tight to a Republican talking point but your point has nothing to do with the shutdown.What part of a government shutdown being on the heads of Dems that won't fund the government is it that you fail to understand?

You must not know many immigrants from places that don't share a border with the United StatesI must have missed the "free with DACA" coupon DACA recipients received.
Can you post a picture of it?
So your dad was brought here illegally as a child and was given a path to legal citizenship, but fuck these 700,000 other kids, they don't deserve the same chance.

Maybe you should start a thread on this as this thread is about the Republicans' inability to govern.They have the same chance he had.
I agree this is how deals work, everyone needs something. This is the opinion piece Republicans need to sit the fuck down and figure out exactly what they want regarding healthcare, social security, Medicare and immigration.
The President shitting on the bi-partisan deal that everyone appeared satisfied with did not help, the President ignoring requests from his own Party to tell them what he wants.
