Trump can VETO the CR and shut down a piece of the federal government. I'd say that gives him a powerful counterpoint to Congress, wouldn't you? Here's a quote from "Adios": I don’t mean to be obtuse, but why is it a crisis that illegal aliens are “living in the shadows”? . . . It is not a crisis for Americans that other people have come into their country illegally and now find it uncomfortable to be living here breaking the law. It’s supposed to be uncomfortable to break the law. Perhaps illegal aliens should have considered that before coming. Doesn't sound to me like she's talking about legal immigration.
