Trump’s Proposal a “One-Sided Fever Dream” americasvoice.org/press_releases… via @AmericasVoice
.@pilitobar87: The President needs to act immediately to reopen the government. Families across the country are suffering because of the President’s temper tantrum over an unnecessary wall.
.@pilitobar87: Today’s proposal is neither bold nor new. TPS holders and DACA recipients would receive a temporary reprieve – protections already extended by the federal courts – in exchange for unaccompanied minors being denied life-saving protections at the border, and a wall.
.@pilitobar87: Moreover, Trump ‘negotiated’ this offer with the Vice President and his son-in-law. He should look up the word ‘negotiation’ in the dictionary. Last we checked, it means that both sides are involved. This so-called ‘deal’ is just a one-sided fever dream.
.@pilitobar87: Donald Trump isn’t interested in making a deal. He’s interested in shifting the blame. Let’s hope the media doesn’t fall for his bad-faith maneuver. We are confident that Democrats won’t take the bait.
.@pilitobar87: The urgent crisis facing the country right now is the fact that a quarter of the federal government is closed down, and 800,000 federal workers are being unfairly punished. The blame lies solely on Trump and Republican enablers such as Mitch McConnell.
.@pilitobar87: It’s time for them to move forward, hold a vote on a bipartisan plan that could reopen the government immediately, and then let’s discuss immigration policy and a real compromise.
