President Trump on Tuesday said the Democratic Party is not willing to make concessions in negotiations over the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and would allow the federal government to close to get their demands met in a funding bill.

"The Democrats want to shut down the Government over Amnesty for all and Border Security. The biggest loser will be our rapidly rebuilding Military, at a time we need it more than ever. We need a merit based system of immigration, and we need it now! No more dangerous Lottery," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.


Democrats want to shut down the government to protect illegal immigrants.

You'd think a government shut down was the end of the world when they can blame it on republicans.

Now, it's no big deal.

They are so desperate they don't mind sacrificing whatever it takes to get their way. They just wont take no for an answer.

Democrats value illegals over U.S. citizens.

That’s one fricked up group of people.

Non-citizens are more important than citizens, according to Democrats.

It’s more important than SSI, SNAP, and section 8 payments, according to Democrats.

Print the shirts!

It would not make a damn if Trump proposed to do everything the Dems wanted, they would still oppose it...

Trump needs to have a prime time speech, lay out what is proposed by the right, explain what the left wants and why they are trying to hold the American people hostage. Explain that the left can compromise or ICE can ship every DACA person home.

Actually would like to this happen. Not as you may suspect what will the dems do but rather what will the pubs do?

Is the republican party finally ready to fight to the death over this or will they wet their fat chubby little fingers and go with which way they think the political winds are blowing?

Trump is going to demonize Democrats because he knows it’s really his fault. A bipartisan deal was brought to him, yet he turned it down.

Can one of our resident SJW's create a hierarchy of victimhood so we can better understood who is at the top of the pecking order and who is at the bottom?

Illegal immigration over American workers. Shameful.


Trump pushing back on DACA in September was a smart move. He's demanding that congress find a permanent solution, which puts a lot of pressure on Democrats.

Seeing as how Democrats are threatening a shut down, I guess they haven't figured out how to negotiate amnesty for all and open borders. After all, that's what moderate Americans want, right?

What deal?

The "let's give them amnesty now and give you security later" deal?

He was absolutely right to tell them to go pound sand. Those "we'll give you what YOU want later" deals are BS, and everyone knows it.

It's time for the majority to act like they have the leverage, which they do.

You think it's republicans that are fighting to reinstate DACA?

WaPo's editorial page actually thinks Democrats should go through with a government shut down.

First of all, Dems haven't done "bipartisan" in a decade. Second, that's not how any of this works.
