Senate Democrats: 'Grant DACA Amnesty or Face Government Shut Down' - Eagle Rising
Im shocked I tell ya, I can't believe it. ¿
Democrats are now threatening to close down the government over Republicans’ refusal to grant DACA amnesty, and the next deadline for Congress to vote on budget terms is on December 8th.
Lifezette reports:
Such a deadline usually means both parties negotiate a new budget and borrowing terms. Negotiations are usually focused tightly on fiscal issues to avoid a partial shutdown of the federal government.
But this time, Democrats are hoping to force President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to grant amnesty to certain illegal immigrants, or else face a damaging federal government shutdown that could hurt Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections a year from now.
The White House is clearly irked at the Democratic maneuvering behind the scenes to force amnesty for young adults who were brought to the United States, illegally, as children.
In early September, Trump rescinded former President Barack Obama’s order temporarily protecting such illegal immigrants. The order was known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). But the revocation doesn’t take effect until March 5, 2018.
