1) Democrats. Their protection is in the CR presented to both parties. The same CR that liberals voted down last night (please just read!!!). Democrats are using the rights and benefits these 9 million legal children as hostages for the non existing rights of 600,000 illegal immigrants.
2) I don’t have your message board time to educate you on your lack of knowledge, nor your job creating experience, on why our US Govt can’t pass bills on single budgetary issues without passing a budget.
If you spent a fraction of your life from beyond a computer screen 24/7, you may begin to understand and appreciate the real life issues you spend pontificating on, and perhaps get some color in your otherwise pale skin!!!
So, if a party holds two pieces of legislation hostage in the budget negotiations and demands the other party pick one, the other party bears sole responsibility for not picking one. Is that correct? That's how this works?
Ok, then if Republican politicians are legitimately pro-life, then why don't they threaten to kill Social Security unless planned parenthood is 100% defunded by law? It would be the Democrats fault for killing social security if they didn't go along correct?
Conclusion via Bach - The Republican party is pro-abortion.
P.S. You can get a clean bill both on DACA and CHIP. CHIP could've been renewed months ago and it was a surprise when it wasn't. Beyond that, there are the votes necessary for a bipartisan compromise, but Republican leadership is enforcing parliamentary solidarity over bipartisan splitting as a strategic move because the Trump admin has signaled it would veto to protect a hardline stance on immigration.
