Democrats are holding our Military hostage over their desire to have unchecked illegal immigration. Can’t let that happen!

Though I’d agree there is blame to go around for the shutdown, it must be obvious to anybody actually paying attention that failure to fund CHIP and to find a resolution for the Dreamers rests entirely with the Republicans — specifically, with The Donald. So what does he do? He lies that the military is held ‘hostage’ by the shutdown — No. Military personnel are not furloughed by the shutdown. — and blames it on a ‘desire’ for ‘unchecked illegal immigration’ by the Democrats.
This man is a national disgrace.
