"Lawmakers are gearing up for an end-of-year fight over a key Obama-era immigration program, raising the chances of a government shutdown.
Senate Republicans and President Trump agreed during a closed-door White House meeting on Thursday that they would oppose addressing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as part of the December funding legislation.
But that stance is unacceptable to Democrats and their immigration allies, who want Congress to pass a legislative fix before going home for Christmas.
The fight over undocumented immigrants brought into the country as children is emerging as the largest hurdle to avoiding a government shutdown after Dec. 8."
Rather than addressing this issue when they held a near super majority control of Congress, Democrats opted to go the Un-Constititional route.
After admitting he did not have the constitutional authority to do so, Obama attempted to Institute DACA through an Un-Constitutional EO.
President Trump eliminated Obama's Un-Constitutional at and has forced Congress to do its job - pass legislation.
Democrats are now upset that this process is not going as fast as they want, which is exactly what happened causing Obama to issue his EO in the first place.
Again, none of this would be happening if Democrats had done their job by passing legislation when they controlled Congress.
So now Democrats are willing to shut down the US government for foreign illegals.
Shutdown threat growing over immigration fight
