Trump to Democrats: no immigration talk until government reopened
Richard Cowan, Ginger Gibson



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers took a tough stance on Saturday after the U.S. Congress failed to fund federal agencies, saying they would not negotiate on immigration until Democrats help end the government shutdown.

Funding for federal agencies ran out at midnight with no agreement in Congress, meaning the second year of Donald Trump’s presidency began without a fully functioning government. Lawmakers failed to resolve an impasse over Democrats’ demands to include certain measures, including protections for young undocumented immigrants, in any short-term spending legislation.

U.S. government workers were told to stay home or, in some cases, work without pay until new funding is approved in the first federal government shutdown since a 16-day funding lapse in October 2013.

Good! The right tactic. You can’t negotiate with extortionists. #SchumerShutdown

Think about it. Trump is the FIRST Republican not to cave to the Democrats. He is standing his ground.
This is a historic event. If Schumer caves to Trump, it will be the first time in my lifetime that a Democrat has ever caved to a Republican on any issue ever at all.

If Mitch McConnell, or McCain, or Bush(LOL), or even Romney, was the current President, not only would they have given Schumer every single thing that he 'demanded', but they would have shined his shoes and bought him dinner afterward.

Go Trump, I guess? I'm with you all the way.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
