Things I never thought I would see. I think this is a bad thing.

Good. It's a waste of my money and resources.

Parts of it are. Parts of it aren't.

We need 40 million illegals deported. Democrats brought in the worst thugs and criminals and they're a threat to all of us.

It will all work out and it will be just as wasteful as before. Nothing to worry about here.

Senate Democrats Block Homeland Security Funding

FIFY

All DHS folks will continue to work - just without pay, for now.

Thank Carter for the bill/law that gives back pay to GS employees.

Does everyone understand the democrats are the enemy of the police and of America?

Want enforcement reform? Stop the sanctuary city bull**** and enforce the law / honor immigration holds.

Easy.

This isn't about governance or justice its about another wedge issue for the Dems to abuse to get their way.

But the hypocrats want to keep them all, it's what they're voting for, on the record. It's disgusting.

Dims don't support deportations because it's human nature to feel like they, and those they care about, will not be harmed. They don't care if others die, or are raped, robbed, seriously injured,…as a result of their political stand.

Yes, it's all about power for them. Incredibly and to my shock, there is one dissenter among their ranks:

Shutting DHS down has zero impact and zero changes for ICE.

ICE already has $75B in funding from the BBB that I did not vote for.

But it will hit FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA and our Cybersecurity Agency.

Collectively, they're a threat to all of us. There is no legitimate reason for a single one to be here. Deport every last one!

Fantastic observation! Why aren't you down on the border sorting them as they come across?

Unfortunately Trump is pissing in the wind. He is trying and i give him credit, but at most he has drastically slowed illegal immigration, and will deport 1 to 2 million over his term. That leaves how many? 20 million? If dems take presidencies in 28 they will throw open the border again.

They're all here illegally. Every one of them. HTH.

...yet still here illegally meaning they broke US immigration law. Those that want to be here need to go through the process setup to do so.

Fetterman is crazy to me. I was shocked he was elected for obvious reasons. However, at times, he's one of the most reasonable democrats out there. Fully goes against his own party and calls out their ridiculousness. Gives zero ****s.

Even more reason to not care about the shutdown. ICE still gets to do their job and the rest will eventually get their money like they've always gotten it through both dem and repub administration.

And if they whine too much they can always find another job.

Here's how the GOP can play hardball with the Dems...

Since it's not funding TSA, send all the agents home and shut down every airport (can't have flights without security).

Let everyone know it's the Dems fault for not paying them.

The Dems will cave quickly when their phones start ringing...

He got less crazy to me after he left his crazy wife (or she left, whatever). He and Josh Shapiro apparently can't stand each other as well, so that's amusing too. He's still left/wrong on most issues, but the bar for 'most decent Democrat in the Senate' is incredibly low, and he does speak his mind freely, I think that is something we can agree to respect.

Except it will be couched as Trump's fault, and you know this.

Well, the media will try their best to cover for their marxist buddies in the Dem party for sure...

But, the Dems actually lost the last shutdown battle because of blowback on them...

Tell that to the families of people murdered by the human trash the Biden trash admin let into this country.

90% of Democrat politicians are America's enemy, no different that Vladimir Putin or the Ayatollah of Iran. They are traitors and often openly speak in treasonous terms. The remaining 10% may not be as extreme, but they don't fight against it and support the 90%, so they make no difference.

We only have a few years left of what we know as America. Democrats have openly stated and demonstrated that they will rig the system permanently. We will be living in a dystopian future much sooner than people think. It will probably be shocking how AI will feed into this.
