Just like the last time Democrats threw the government into a shutdown, they have no leverage but are now withholding votes to fund the Department of Homeland Security while making ridiculous demands that the Trump administration is entertaining.
If Congress doesn’t push more money to DHS by Saturday, funding to TSA and FEMA will be cut off this weekend. Democrat leaders say they won’t agree to any deal that doesn’t reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is to say, make it effectively impossible to deport illegal aliens.
But everyone in Washington knows Democrats are in no position to force concessions, given that even without more money for DHS, ICE remains funded with billions in cash by way of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” law passed last year. In short, the hand Democrats are playing is: Neuter immigration law enforcement or they’re going to clog up air travel and federal emergency response assistance.
This would be like needing a last-minute babysitter and telling the only person available that if she can’t watch your kids, you’re not only going to stay home, but you’ll also send them to bed without any dinner.
Alright?
A DHS shutdown isn’t going to stop deportations, and it won’t force any changes to ICE. It’s going to screw up the public’s travel plans and put lives at risk should there be a major disaster somewhere.
This is all acknowledged even by the dying news media, which otherwise never admits when a shutdown is politically stupid for Democrats. From The Washington Post on Thursday: --->READ MORE HERE

| ICE/FLICKR |
The New York Times’ The Daily podcast mistakenly interviewed a reasonable voter on immigration last week, so it looks like they’ve swung hard in the other direction by inviting self-described “moderate” Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto to balance things out with some old-fashioned anti-American insanity.
The U.S. senator from Nevada used the half-hour episode on Thursday to do what all Democrats in Congress do, which is to pretend to be interested in “securing the border” while attempting to complicate what it means to enforce immigration law.
“So what I’ve been talking about with my colleagues — and this is where Democrats need to be aligned — is that we are not saying completely defund ICE,” she said, apparently unaware that at least five of her Democrat colleagues in Congress have called to “abolish ICE,” along with other elected Democrat officials. “What we are saying is fund them to the level they traditionally were so that we’re securing our borders. And we are also working in our communities with local law enforcement to go after the violent criminals under the immigration jurisdiction that they have.”
Cortez Masto also said in the interview it was possible to “do both”— meaning, to “secure our borders” and “address the human trafficking, the drug trafficking and weapons trafficking that’s happening there.”
This is supposed to be the “moderate” position. But if Democrats can do both, why didn’t they? Before Donald Trump was inaugurated, they had the presidency for four years, and in that time, they had full control of Congress for two of them. They instead did the opposite and allowed anyone in through the southern border who could make it there. By some estimates, that was close to 10 million impoverished foreigners flooding into the U.S.
And as Cortez Masto mentioned, it’s not just that an obscene number of people were allowed into the country and loaded up with American taxpayer-funded food and housing. It’s that the Democrat-supervised open border galvanized whole industries in human and drug trafficking, directly leading to countless deaths, rapings and other depravity. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
