One side is asking for $18b for a dumb thing, the other is asking to fund healthcare for kids…
The reality is that One party controls the White House, the House and the Senate, Dems support a bipartisan proposal with more than 50 votes, but Republicans won't bring it up and don't even have 50 votes for their own plan.
Okay so here's what the Dems want...I guess you haven't paid attention...DACA, CHIP & no wall...that's it simple @Marcshort45
They will refuse to fund our military, and vote against renewing health care for several million AMERICAN children, in order to appease 3/4 of a million illegal immigrants? Thats sad. #ReleaseTheMemo
People who have never known ANYTHING but living here. People that were brought here as infants and DEPENDENT children! But I don’t expect ANY Republican to have a beating 
They aren't children now. And the dems are going to vote no on funding healthcare for REAL American children. And they will answer to voters for choosing illegals over our children
If the dems really cared...why didn't they do it in Obama's first term?
Are you just willfully ignorant?
Looks like the Dems are finally using plays out of the Republicans playbook! They learned well from the EIGHT YEARS of political posturing during the @POTUS44 administration. Shut the whole thing down!!!
So, the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats because Mexico won't pay for the wall after all? Is that what is understood?
This is all on republicans and trump. No effort was made to negotiate with Dems after Graham & CO bipartisan bill was nixed by trump!!!! Negotiate=finding compromise/middle ground!!! DO YOUR JOBS!!!!! #TrumpShutdown
So the republican mantra is now "The @TheDemocrats won't stop us from shutting down the government."
