It's now the #PelosiShutdown!
If there were any doubt before, the reaction by the Democrats to President Trump's compromise proposals to get them back to the bargaining table leaves no doubt on who owns this shutdown.
If there were any doubt before, the reaction by the Democrats to President Trump's compromise proposals to get them back to the bargaining table leaves no doubt on who owns this shutdown.
Bloomberg reported:
Top Democrats said they’ll reject an offer expected from President Donald Trump to extend protections for so-called Dreamers for three years in exchange for $5.7 billion in funds for border security as a way to reopen the federal government after almost a month.
As well as giving protections for Dreamers, young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children, via the bipartisan Bridge Act, Trump is expected to propose extending the visas for Temporary Protection Status holders, though it’s unclear for how long, said a person familiar with Trump’s plan.
The concessions, to be outlined in a speech at 4 p.m. on Saturday, are aimed at getting Democrats back to the negotiating table in a bid to end a partial government shutdown now into its fifth week.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the President's proposals "a non-starter" even before he spoke.
The Democrats OWN this shutdown.
