Shutdown!!!

This past weekend we witnessed the dysfunction of Washington, of the Republican controlled congress, of the President and of the Democratic Party. Our leaders in Washington were trying to make a deal. A deal with the author of the Art of the Deal. Meetings and meetings and no deal. Commercials and tweets blaming each other. Tweets applauding the other party, then tweets saying that they caved. That’s like a bully hitting you in the stomach then asking if you are ok. Then hitting you again.

Is the blame game for them or for their political base? Who looks better in this shutdown?

Part of the deal is what to do with DACA recipients. They should have nothing to do with the government shutdown. The border wall should have nothing to do with this shutdown. For whatever reason, both issues are part of the “Deal.” So, if no deal is reached by February 8^th, who will be at fault?

The problem that I have is that if no deal is reached then nothing good comes of this for Dreamers or any progress, good or bad, on the border wall. I just hope that our leaders in Washington can resolve differences to keep the government going. I also hope that our leaders finally make decisions on DACA and immigration reform. Do something!!!
