It's pretty simple moron, there were two options, vote to keep government open, or vote to close government! Republicans don't have 60 votes, so democraps had to help. Democraps said no, shut it down!
Sadly, only three Dems sided with the GOP for the "clean" continuing resolution to keep the government open. That made the vote 5 short of the 60 needed. It's always a gamble for each side when the government shuts down. But this now allows the administration to reduce the size of government even further. This was a bad play for the Dems whichever way they went.
When the Democrats held the majority under President Biden, Congress passed 13 continuing resolutions to keep the government open. There are videos of Sen. Schumer suggesting the government should NEVER shut down no matter the reason. Sadly, he is being "held hostage" by the far left of his party.
Democrats do not want free healthcare, 1. Current federal lawUndocumented immigrants are not eligible for federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid (except for emergency services), or ACA (Obamacare) subsidies.They cannot buy ACA marketplace plans, even at full price.2. What Democrats actually supportMany Democrats do support expanding access to health care for undocumented immigrants, but usually at the state/local level or for specific groups (like children, pregnant women, or DACA recipients).For example, states like California, Illinois, and New York have created state-funded programs that let undocumented residents get health coverage. These are state choices, not federal mandates.Nationally, most Democrats push for things like emergency room access, community clinics, and vaccinations for undocumented people — largely for public health reasons (to stop the spread of disease, reduce ER costs, etc.).3. Why the “free healthcare for illegals” claim is misleadingIt suggests Democrats want to automatically give full federal benefits to all undocumented immigrants — which is not true under current law.It oversimplifies nuanced proposals (like limited state coverage or emergency care) into something that sounds extreme.It’s mostly used as a political weapon to stoke anger.
For sure Dougie! But the democraps have been 100% LYING about this, using word salads to fortify their position. THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYING FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS HEATHCARE! IT'S UNDISPUTED! And democraps shut down the government over it, republicans will not cave to the minority concerns
You are 100% right. There are millions of American children who have food insecurity. Spend that money on our citizens in need. If you want to live here, come in legally. Like my grandparents did. Through Ellis Island. Not running across the Rio Grande in the middle of the night. I have a lot of empathy for folks fleeing these countries. But do it legally. The right way.
WRONG AGAIN AGAIN! Please speak the truth instead of your continued right wing fiction! They both caused the shutdown! End of story!
Yes, I agree with that
Again, it takes 2 to tango! They did it then and they failed now! End of story!
This again proves the ignorance of the radical left! Because of the filibuster rule in the Senate, this bill needs 60 votes to pass or the government shuts down. 52 Republicans voted to keep government open, the bill needed 8 democrat votes of their 45 members. 3 voted to keep government open, 42 voted to shut government down. Who owns this? DEMOCRAPS! Good thing you aren't a accountant rainman!
I never learned to tango! LOL!
