Senate's top Democrat says he will vote to end shutdown
- Senate breaks Dem filibuster, clearing way to end government shutdown
"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced on the floor ahead of the test vote that they’ve reached an agreement -- and “will vote today to re-open the government.”
He said this comes with a commitment to negotiate on immigration, and immediately consider such legislation if there’s no agreement by Feb. 8."
Schumer, Pelosi, and the Democrats had this assurance from the Republicans BEFORE they stood with Illegals over Americans by shutting down the Govt!
Schumer and the Democrats had everything they wanted in the budget bill.
McConnell assured Schumer the 1st legislation the Senate would work on after the budget bill passed was Immigration - DACA, ending chain immigration, etc....that 'DACA' was a separate piece of legislation from the budget bill...
...and STILL Schumer led the other trusting lemmings right off the cliff by shutting down the government, proving their priority was / is what is best for illegals over what is best for America / Americans!
D-Gutierez was the 1st Democrat to step back, look what Schumer was leading them into - a self-inflicted political suicide bombing' that was going to kill their hopes for the 2018 Mid-Term elections. Gutierez declared on the news that if accepting the GOP's word that DACA would be addressed next after the budget bill passed he would personally travel to the border and start applying bricks and mortar to help build Trump's wall. 'Bricks for Lives is a good deal'.
Schumer was 100% committed to opposing the GOP / Trump, but, as mentioned, by shutting down the govt he opposed everything the Democrats wanted in the budget bill and betrayed Americans to stand with illegals. Today, not only after the GOP pressured him to do so but after DEMOCRATS watching the collapse of the DNC with this move, Schumer agreed to voting to end the 'SCHUMER-SHUTDOWN'!
