SCHUMER CAVES:
Chuck Schumer CAVES!
He GOT NOTHING from the White House. All he got was an agreement from Mitch to re-open negotiations on DACA, which is also NOTHING.#SchumerShutdown pic.twitter.com/eZPVBydGco— TrumpSoldier (@DaveNYviii) January 22, 2018
Brit Hume explains what the Democrats were up to:
Let’s be clear about what the Democrats tried to do here. They wanted to tie DACA to the government funding bill so they could save DACA in exchange for funding govt. instead of later having to agree to a lot of border security measures to protect DACA on a separate bill.
