BREAKING!!
TRUMP Just Made URGENT Announcement!!
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!
The government has been shut down for three days.
But it is expected to reopen tomorrow.
Senate Democrats forced the shutdown by filibustering on Friday.
Thus, over the weekend long and bipartisan talks took place over how to end the shutdown.
Eventually, both sides came to an agreement.
The government shutdown came about because Senate and House Democrats wanted DACA funding
included in the continuing resolution budget package.
However, it was not in it.
Even though they agreed with everything else in the budget including extending Children's
Health Insurance Program funding for six years.
Democrats refused to end the shutdown until DACA was discussed while President Trump insisted
he would not negotiate DACA until the government was reopened.
The Independent Journal Review reported,
"On Monday, the Senate voted to end the government shutdown after just three days
of being unable to reach a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and
immigration reform.
President Donald Trump repeatedly said that funding for the border wall would need to
be included in the deal, and Schumer argued for DACA to be included, as well.
In the end, Schumer gave in to a plan where Democrats would accept a deal to end the shutdown
in exchange for opening negotiations on DACA.
The vote landed at 81-18.
Now Trump has issued a statement saying that Democrats had finally "come to their senses"
to fund the military, border patrol, first responders, and insurance for vulnerable children.
He then said his administration would "work toward solving the problem of very unfair
illegal immigration," but only if "it is good for our country.""
The President spent the weekend at the White House residence on standby should the Senate
finally come to a conclusion.
They did, however, it wasn't until Monday when a decision was made.
While at the White House the President was reported to be restless while on the phone
with Republican legislators and some informal congressional aides.
While some took issue over his notable absence from the discussions he did exactly what he
was supposed to.
It isn't his job to craft a budget, it is Congress' job.
His role is more of a principal, a lender of last resort, the last person you want to
go to.
Going to him indicates a failure on the part of Congress and the Senate to do their job
and negotiate a bill that could pass.
In the end, he won and thereby the American people won.
USAToday reported,
"Yet Democrats on Monday made their own case for at least a partial victory.
They noted that the new spending plan lasts less than three weeks, winning them a commitment
to work on a permanent resolution to the issue of DREAMers, the undocumented immigrants who
came to the U.S. as children.
If there's no agreement by Feb. 8, they warned, there could be a rerun of what Democrats
called the "Trump shutdown," which took place as both parties positioned themselves
for congressional elections in a little less than ten months.
"The Republican majority now has seventeen days to prevent the DREAMers from being deported,"
said Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., speaking on the Senate floor.
On Monday, Senate Democrats came together with Republicans on a short-term government
funding bill — with a promise from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to
work toward a bipartisan compromise on immigration, border security, and a broader budget outline
before then.
The vote was 81-18.
Sanders said Trump hopes to sign the bill later Monday, after the House votes on the
short-term spending measure and the budget office does necessary paperwork.
Shortly after the vote, Trump met at the White House with a group of Senators — all Republicans,
and all viewed as relative hard-liners on the immigration.
The government has been partially shut down since 12:01 a.m.
Saturday, after senators blocked a bill that would have kept the government funded for
the next month.
The legislation came up with a vote of 50-49 – about 10 votes short of overcoming a Democratic
filibuster.
Democrats opposed the bill in part because it did not include provisions for young immigrants
protected under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program known as DACA.
Trump announced in September that he would end the program, saying Obama didn't have
the legal authority to give the undocumented immigrants legal status.
But he also gave Congress six months to enshrine the program into law.
Democrats argued the president was backing away from his commitment to finding a solution
to help protect these 800,000 immigrants from deportation.
"We expect that a bipartisan deal on DACA will receive fair consideration and an up-or-down
vote on the floor," Schumer said Monday.
Trump himself has been largely silent throughout the shutdown crisis, except for an occasional
tweet.
But across the globe, Vice President Pence was quick to cast Democrats' efforts as
a loss.
"The Schumer shutdown failed," Pence said during a news conference in Israel, placing
the blame squarely on the top Senate Democrat.
"Now that the government is reopening, Congress can get back to work advancing the president's
agenda.""
