democrats attempting blackmail

It must be noted that the budget process is totally unrelated to the DACA issue. The budget process can, and should, be completed separately from any consideration of the DACA issue. However, in their typical mode of operation, the democrats are using the budget process to attempt to blackmail the republicans into total surrender regarding the DACA resolution without even attempting to resolve the underlying immigration problems which have caused the DACA issue in the first place. It is exactly what I expect from the democrats, absolutely zero effort to reach an agreement which might provide both sides some or most of what they want. The democrats have zero regard for what is needed for the good of our country, or for the safety of our citizens, or for the needs of our military. They only care about the desires of illegal aliens. They will not negotiate in good faith, and believe in only zero-sum politics. The democrats are solely to blame for this fabricated crisis which they have manufactured for blackmail purposes, and they should be held totally accountable for any and all negative consequences from the government shutdown which they have purposely manufactured.
