There are already several bills that would continue DACA in its current form, and allow "Dreamers" to stay.

But that's not enough for Democrats, who snuck in amnesty for Dreamer parents in the form of 3-year renewable work permits in the "bipartisan" Graham & Durbin deal, which Trump wisely rejected. Why 3 years? I'm guessing Dems are confident about taking back government control in 2020.

All DACA beneficiaries are older than 18, with the oldest in their mid-30s. Dreamers' parents are the ones who caused this "crisis" to begin with, and any form of amnesty they receive will lead to more waves of illegal immigration in the future.

CNN polls show that a majority of Americans do not think DACA negotiations are worth shutting down the government. Democrats will pay dearly in the midterm elections for this, despite the momentum gained from opposing ACA repeal and tax cuts for the rich.

I wonder what happened to all the right-wingers hooting and hollering about how much control they have.

Didn't the democrats and republicans come up with a deal that both liked but Trump refused to sign it because it didn't give him what he wanted?

Trump is largely to blame. He bitched that the first bill that passed didn't include his wall. He should of just signed it if he really cared about government shutdown.

After saying that he'd go with whatever bill they came up with even if he didn't like it, too.

Guy's a fucking scumbag.

To say they hit a new low would imply they had anywhere left to fall. Let's remember we've been here before: when Obama decided he was going to shut down the government and barricade open-air monuments. "How terrible, we don't have any money, but somehow we magically have the funds to put up chains and kick out visiting war veterans."

The root of this problem has, sadly, continued under Republicans: the absence of a budget and the loading of everything into a "must-pass" CR which nobody's read, so there's a lot of graft in there that just keeps getting rubber-stamped every year.

The solution is obvious: go back to square one.

We should start the year off at zero spending and (how about this crazy idea) Congress actually does its job? Each day of the year, hold an up-or-down vote line by line. If it doesn't pass on its own, it doesn't pass. No more of this last-minute panic one day out of the year like an irresponsible kid who didn't do their homework on time.

While the left once said a shutdown would be the apocalypse, and now hypocritically urges one on, my position remains the same: let it happen. Shut it down, the politicians don't get their six-figure salaries for a few weeks, they don't get their pork and their waste. They have a lot more to lose than we do, and they deserve to lose it. The establishment can shoot itself in the foot for all I care. When the government shuts down, they lose because they are the government and they are the problem. They won't be missed on my end, idgaf.

They did the same with Obama so quit playing the identity politics already. Who gets fucked in the end? The working class as always while career politicians can sit at home and collect checks instead of pretending to work on capital Hill and collecting checks. None of those people are looking out for you or anybody else.

There was a bipartisan deal that included DACA and CHIP
The GOP reneged on that deal after Trump threw his hissy fit
The Democrats expected the GOP to follow through on the deal that was already made
Somehow, it's still the Democrats' fault.

I feel like the Republican playbook is actually just a little notepad with a bunch of crayon scribbles in it
