Days Into Shutdown, Democrats Realize They Made a Big Mistake
Only one day after the federal government went into shutdown mode over Congress’s failure to come together on a new spending bill, one of the most pro-immigration Democrats in the party is ready to come back to the table and give President Trump what he wants. In comments to reporters on Saturday, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said that if it was a wall that Trump wanted, a wall he should get.
“I’ll take a bucket, take bricks, and start building it myself,” Gutierrez said. “We will dirty our hands in order for the Dreamers to have a clean future in America.”
Gutierrez is no more a fan of the border wall today than he was a week ago, so his concession marks a dramatic turn of rhetoric in the Democratic Party. Make no mistake about it, this shutdown – however much Americans may wish it could have been avoided – is going to be a major win for conservatives who want to see a new emphasis on border control. Whether by design or merely by happenstance, the Republicans on Capitol Hill have finally done something right. By “holding the Dreamers hostage” – and sure, we’ll even use the left’s language – they are on the verge of extracting total surrender from the Democrats. Even if this didn’t happen by design, it could have scarcely been constructed any more perfectly.
As The Hill reports, Gutierrez isn’t the only one ready to capitulate. “The concession comes as other Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (NY), have said they could agree to a wall in exchange for protection for the Dreamers, immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.”
Why are the Democrats suddenly talking about playing ball with the White House?
Well, they may be taking a hard look at two realities. One, they’re beginning to realize that President Trump is perfectly willing to let each and every Dreamer lapse back into unprotected status and that it won’t disturb a minute of his sleep if one or two of them get deported in the meantime. More importantly, they’re looking at new national surveys that show the degree to which v**ers care about DACA restorations. To put it simply: Not as much as Democrats thought.
“A majority of Americans, 56%, said approving a budget to avoid a government shutdown was more important for Congress to do than passing a bill to maintain the DACA program,” reported CNN on Sunday. “Only one in three Americans, 34%, said they prioritized a DACA fix over avoiding a shutdown.”
Democrats decided to make January 19 their big “Stand Up and Be Counted” moment…and it turns out they backed a losing horse. Even with the entirety of the mainstream media preaching their version of the “t***h,” they have lost the confidence of the American people. Their courage is deteriorating, their demands are receding. At long last, they’re beginning to come face to face with the realization that they LOST in 2016 and that, as their erstwhile leader liked to often say, “e******ns have consequences.”
One day the democrats will wake-up and realize they must stop hating the Constitution and abide by it!!!!!

It is not 'food for thought' but it is fact:
(1) Isn’t it weird that in America our f**g and our culture offend so many people, but our benefits don’t?
(2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans when i*****l a***ns are receiving a free education?
(3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled “r****ts” and “N**is,” but i*****l a***ns are called “Dreamers.”
(4) Liberals say, “If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it’s worth it.” Well, then, if deporting all i******s saves just one life, wouldn’t that be worth it?
(5) I can’t quite figure out how you can proudly wave the f**g of another country, but consider it punishment to be sent back there.
(6) The Constitution: It doesn’t need to be rewritten, it needs to be reread.

I heard they (the far left) visited Schumer's home and now he is in fear of his life. Another source said it was planned and arrest warrants were served. Either way, couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

I agree and thinking Americans need to stop giving citizens'rights to i******s and noncitizens. But, folks, my view is this ammesty, right now, needs to be our line in sand where we stand pat, NO AMMESTY EVER FOR ANYONE. It is way past time to send i*****l a***ns home. They not only drain our country but are, indeed, changing it into something different and not in a good way. I do not want my descendants trying to survive in a third world cesspit subsidiary of Mexico or one ruled by muslims or one that's just a polyglot of different groups each just a satellite of THEIR countries, no allegiances to THIS country. Ending & deporting ALL 700,000 DACA and their illegal families is our chance to begin changing things, turning our nation around before it's too late. If we can do this now, we can, then, start getting the other critical changes. But allowing this ammesty will be the end of us, will gain us nothing because CONGRESS CANNOT BE TRUSTED once they get their ammesty and we will see just more of the same. This is our chance to send a message out to the l*****t, the politicians, the world, especially Mexico, that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

maryjane: Spot on! DACA was an illegal stroke of the illegal usurper's pin in violation of the 1965 Immigration Act. I'm not being cruel...I'm demanding we follow rule of Law! These DACA types can't even serve in our Military....because they don't even qualify for a Green Card!

To be reread and obeyed. It is the Law of the Land! The Constitution doesn’t need to be rewritten, but it could stand a couple of amendments like term limits, balance budget and to limit the power of the Supreme Court, etc.
