President Donald Trump attacked Democrats on Saturday after far left party shutdown the US government for illegal aliens in the US.
Democrats are far more concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border. They could have easily made a deal but decided to play Shutdown politics instead. #WeNeedMoreRepublicansIn18 in order to power through mess!

Trump was right–
A strong majority of Americans agree with the president that shutting down the government for illegal aliens is a complete disgrace.
The GOP sent out this email on Saturday morning–
New national polling spells trouble for Democrats, particularly Senate Democrats in states President Trump carried in 2016. The far left base might be happy with the #SchumerShutdown, but that’s definitely not the case in battleground states across the country. From CNN…
Here are two reasons why American public opinion may be betting against the Democrats in the shutdown battle:
1. More Americans polled said avoiding a shutdown is more important than continuing DACA.
“A majority of Americans, 56%, said approving a budget to avoid a government shutdown was more important for Congress to do than passing a bill to maintain the DACA program. Only one in three Americans, 34%, said they prioritized a DACA fix over avoiding a shutdown.”
2. Independents agree with Republicans on these issues
“Most independents fell in line with Republicans on the crucial choices facing both parties as a government shutdown approached. …a majority of independents, 57%, said they prioritized avoiding a government shutdown over finding a DACA solution. Only 34% said a DACA solution is more important.”
