If a government shutdown does occur, President Trump should make sure to erect Barrycades around things that Democrats really love
(NY Times) Liberal activists, eager for Democrats to assert what power they have left in Congress, are pressing Democratic leaders to shut down the government this Christmas if Republicans do not agree to shield young undocumented immigrants from deportation.
But moderate Democrats fear the political blowback of a holiday crisis, and equivocal statements by top Democratic leaders are giving the left reason to believe that the party will lend enough votes to keep the government open past Dec. 22, when the current spending bill is set to expire.
That has turned part of the liberal “resistance†— honed in the Trump era to target Republicans — against Democratic leaders.
A bit of Blue On Blue carpetbombing.
“People are actually losing their protection from deportation, losing their ability to work, losing their ability to support their families,†said Nayim Islam, an immigrant rights organizer for Desis Rising Up & Moving, a group seeking broad legislation that protects young immigrants, called the Dream Act. “The reality of what a government shutdown would mean for certain folks and their means of income or for jobs, that is already a reality for a lot of undocumented immigrants.â€
So, hardcore Leftists want Americans who are legally here to be suffer just like those who are in the country in contradiction to the law.
Erika Andiola, 30, an undocumented immigrant who is organizing protests in Washington, said she was tired of Democrats using immigration to “pander†to communities without following through.
Erika, that’s all the do. And you blindly follow along.
