[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schumer is posturing after the backlash he got from the left wing and the Hispanic caucus.

The optics of shutting the government to grant amnesty to illegals will not sell well in much of America other than the left wing. [/quote]

Huge majority of Americans want Dreamers to stay in US: poll[/b]

The issue is not whether the Dreamers should be allowed to stay in the US - it seems that all sides are generally supportive of it. The question is whether shutting down the government as a response to legislation not being passed has support.[/quote]

It wasn't in response to legislation not being passed. It was in response to legislation not even being considered. Big difference.[/quote]

Same response applies: because Congress will not even consider  bringing legislation to the floor, is not grounds to shut down the government. Democrats need to win elections and control Congress and then they can bring any legislation to the floor for consideration though it does not assure that it will not be vetoed. No different than when Congress was controlled by the Republicans and they would vote to repeal Obamacare and Obama would then veto it.[/quote]

Why doesn't GOP win elections gets a filibuster proof majority to pass the CR next time. That would work. Is this what you want PP, a one party rule so that we move the farthest extreme possible?[/quote]
