The situation was reversed in the recent past. There were laws passed to build a border fence between the US and Mexico. The Dems didn't like the idea so they chose not to fund it. We ended up with a fraction of the fence that was intended even though it was "the law of the land".
Two things:
1) Did the Democrats shut down the government, and hold the entire
nation world hostage?
So they didn't like the idea, so they didn't fund it even though it was law, ...but did they bring everything to a grinding stop in an effort to get their way? The situation is dire enough as it is, ...but these self-inflicted wounds are really too much.
2) You should be grateful, the fence is only a fraction of what it could have been. A few months / years from now, it might become the very thing that the Gov't may use to try to keep you IN the USA.
Obeezy and his people want everything their way. They are the ones that will not accept a budget that doesn't include Obamacare. It's not even a real shutdown either. They are picking and choosing what they wan to keep open and what they want to close. This whole crisis is a sham.
Wholeheartedly agree. Nothing more than a piece of badly acted theatre.
