    No everything was fine until Obama did an endrun around congress and created law with an executive order that the Supremes will likely invalidate anyway. Trump restored legal precedent.

    Actually Obama broke it with an illegal executive order. Laws are supposed to come from the legislative branch not the executive branch. You do know about the three branches of government and their separate roles don't you?

    everything was fine until Trump touched it, had trump left his tiny hand off it, would not of been a issue, Trump's problem now

    yep, I know about the 3 branches, the House is now controlled by dems, elections have consequences - Trump broke it and then refused to let Congress fix it - so no wall for Trump

    So the house should pass a legal dreamers act if that's what they really want and quit playing politics with people's lives.

    By the way border barriers are for America not for trump.

    This is something not shut down by the shut down. Like a million other things. I fail to see the news story.

    If they had made some sort of special exception or something then yeah, but this was always paid for through a shut down.

    *Not paid yet

    Your point being? A lot of government expenditure is not covered by the shut down.

    It takes two to tango. Either side could budge an inch and end the shut down today.

    All the Dems have to do is increase the budget by 2.6%. Where's their compassion?
