“We have a major deadline that is coming up, and this is not an arbitrary deadline. This is a real deadline that many states are facing. We have representatives from many of those states — Washington, Kentucky, Alabama, Oregon, Louisiana, Virginia — CHIP funding is going to run out. For 60,000 children in Washington state and 9 million children across the country, it is urgent that we fix this.
“The CR, the continuing resolution, funds CHIP for six years. Let me say that again: six years. It’s the longest extension of CHIP in the history of this program.
“Nearly all of the Democrats, unfortunately in the House, have voted against CHIP three times now. They’ve pushed us to this critical deadline when the government funding runs out on Friday. And now they’re threatening to hold this up over DACA.
“No just let me be clear: I want a DACA fix, too. I’m disappointed that we don’t have one. We have until March. There’s no good reason to punish children today by keeping Congress from passing the CHIP authorization. By voting against this continuing resolution, not only are they voting to shut down the government, they’re voting to deny children access to critical health care when they need it.
Why won’t the Democrats vote for CHIP funding?
Now, when it comes to the deaths of these 2 children, who immediately blamed Trump, when he had nothing to do with it? Tell us, rdean.
Now, the Dems have been caught being involved in helping these immigrants get to the border, even knowing the risks it entails. Why, rdean? Why? To satisfy their own needs, rather than the safety of these children.
Trump blames child border deaths on Democrats
Rich coming from the leader of a party that uses sick and disabled children to score political points:
And Republicans passed Kavanaugh with a one person majority.
Republicans control the entire government.
How can it be Democrats fault?
