81-18 Vote Ends Government Shutdown for Now (Okay, Final Passage Hasn’t Happened But It is Considered a Formality)

U.S. Senator Kamala Harris before an air and ground survey of Northern California fires near Santa Rosa, California, Oct. 14, 2017. (Army National Guard photo by Capt. Will Martin/Released).

Both California senators, Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris voted no along with 16 others to end the shutdown of the federal government today. But 81 other senators voted yes and a temporary spending bill was passed that lets the federal government continue running through February 8.

According to the New York Times,

In a few hours, the government will reopen,” said Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader. “We have a lot to do.”

The procedural vote does not immediately end the shutdown. The Senate must still grant final approval of the bill, and it must then be approved by the House.
But final passage is a formality…

According to the Wall Street Journal a statement from President Donald Trump read by Sarah Huckabee Sanders said,

I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses.

[Sanders added,] We are pleased to see Sen. Schumer accept the deal that the president put on the table from the beginning.

Time to see the wall constructed along with house to house searches for illegals and marijuana growers, which can be tossed over that wall into banishment, securing a safer future for the country.

Occupied California is in dire need of liberation which can begin with deportation of liberals, illegals, and neo hippies.

No we can’t. But we could start to end the policies of allowing employers to hire illegals with impunity. I have seen businesses have many enployees sharing the same social security number. They know fully well that they are illegal but they also know that they will not be held responsible.

I don’t think a border wall is going to do much to stop illegal immigration but putting some teeth into law regarding those who hire them could.

You probably have never run a business or have any idea how things get done in the world. I’ll tell you: there is and always has been a place for low wage, hard labor jobs. Currently, in the US, these jobs are getting done mostly by Mexican immigrants. There is no one else who wants to do those jobs right now. What do you propose to handle this problem?
Are you prepared to pay significantly higher prices for everything from wine, fruits and veggies, meat, construction, hotel and other hospitalities… on and on..
The fact is, these people have a part in the fabric of our nation, they pay into the tax system and don’t get much in return, and they are a big part in a lot of business in CA. They are living the same American dream as our ancestors. Get off their back.

Have you ever thought that the reason that all these low-wage jobs are being performed by Mexicans, is because they will work for cheaper than Americans! Is that really your defense for illegal immigration because we can pay them less to do the jobs we don’t want to?

Well, I would argue about the word ‘illegal’ because many are not illegal.. but yes it is near impossible to find other people to do these jobs. Again I ask: have you ever run a business?
The choices for some of these jobs are: kids who have never worked before and think the world revolves around their schedule, or a mexican guy who will work hard and be there every day so he can feed his family?
I know who I am going to choose.

It’s just a reality. If you spend all day typing and don’t have experience employing people I don’t expect you to understand how the world works.

I have a very good idea how business works. And I have heard all the stories rationalizing hiring illegals. And I have heard all the complaints from businesses refusing to hire illegals have about unfair competition.

PL used similar arguments about the imported workers they brought in after they did a seasonal lay off of their American workers one year. Their new crews worked for a third less. When they got injured on the job, the workers took a small settlement and went home so PLs worker’s comp insurance rates stayed low. Survivors left in Mexico coulld be ignored. There were no FLSA complaints, OSHA reviews or law suits or any of those pesky nuisances that are created by regulation. Not because they didn’t apply but because people who didn’t speak English, whose homes were far away and who were reluctant to complain to authorities simply left without causing any problems. And were cheap labor to boot. A business win for those willing to do it.

BTW the American employees were never called back for their usual seasonal lay off.

That it hard to deal with the endless regulation and labor costs, especially in California, is something with which I have sympathy. But, if a businesses can’t meet those regulations without hiring illegals, then it is not really a viable business here. Which unfortunately is part and parcel of the uber liberal California society. That is apparently the California Dream- creating a world where business owes a decent living to all comers, through regilated wages or taxes, while simultaneously never expecting them to have to work for it. Such a magical kingdom, which can’t really exist, tends to maintain the illusion by importing cheap labor. Trouble with that is the “cheap labor’s” offspring is just as unused to hard work and just as whiny (heck more so) as any other American so ever more cheap labor is needed to compensate. It’s a train wreck for society.

What is needed is a dose of reality, where the regulation and welfare that is wanted must be paid for by those who work for a salary determined by the labor that is legally available. Not the bargain prices created by avoiding those costs. So they must pay more for food, construction, landscaping, etc. They must pay for their liberal wants themselves. Or do it themselves.

Many of those hard work type of jobs many people i know would be happy to work, had illegal workers not driven the bottom out of the wages paid for those jobs. Framing roofing hell even farming used to all be decently paid jobs to work. Unskilled labor used to be able to afford a house and even a car or 2. However illegal labors not just from our southern neighbors but from across the world has infact flooded those areas of labor allowing for reduced wages for those that it employs , there by making it undesirable for others to work them. When these companies have to compete for labor they do so by offering higher wages and benifits as well as working conditions . When they do not need to compete for labor you see less benifits less wages and worse conditions. That is a fact.

In August, the Brookings Institution released a report based on FOIA-obtained data for applications filed through March of this year. The report revealed that 36 percent of applicants were between the ages of 15-18, 40 percent were between the ages of 19-23, and just 24 percent were 24 and over. The Center for American Progress (CAP) framed the data this way: the average age of all DACA applicants is 20 years old.

3,000,000 x 2,000,000 x 6,000,000= 36,000,000; that doesn’t even include all other illegals without children.

They are not illegals under the law unless the law changes.
The 700,000 referred to are the now grown kids who were brought or born here and were given citizenship under the DACA regs.
There are also many many people who have been here 30-40 years working and raising families who are now being deported.
Not the dangerous folks, just family people. There are some good articles online about it and if you dont like american news sources check out the BBC.

A bigger question is why are the only people being deported from Mexico and central America? If youre gonna have an immigration bill then you have to apply it across the board. If all the latino workers get deported, expect fruit, nuts and wine prices to skyrocket as we will once again see food rot&farmers lose $ as no one else will work those jobs.

In southern California alone there are literally millions of “illegal” chinese who are running huge birthing houses where women from China pay upwards of 50,000 to come here and birth their babies so babies can get US citizenship under the same rules that are now trying to be changed. Ive met people living here without citizenship from all over the world. Why is it just Latinos being targeted?

It reminds of the poem from nazi germany, the protestant priest author was a supporter of hitler at first, then after seeing what was happening spoke out against him and ended up in a concentration camp as a prisoner.

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

First off the dreamers were never given citizenship. They were given a bs plan that never even promised them citizenship, just a bunch of paperwork and a chance to work here. By resending daca and forcing congress to write and pass a bill that effects daca folks under the law there must be a path for them to become citizens, there by trump for all his faults and hate either way was infact helping them, as they would have a way to become citizens not just folks allowed to work if they never got in trouble and paid taxes. Being against illegal entry doesnt mean anyone is against entry . It only means they dont think it is right to have the movie theater seats filled by folks that didnt pay for the seat,because they had a family member hold open the exit door.

The litany from the left: Republican’s forced the shut down- bad on them for being incapable of leading despite controlling Congress. Democrats vote to stop the shut down- good for them for forcing the issue though nothing’s changed. Can’t you see that both things can’t coexist? Not that either was true anyway.

What really happened is both parties were deafened by the public’s yawns. It’s been done too mant times and, despite the speeches on catastrophic results, nothing much happened in any of them.

I know that in most of the country the law enforcement doesn’t put up with the shit that happens around here, on a small scale. If the law enforcement doesn’t handle it the citizens need to do something.

Besides being simply wrong in some of that author’s assumptions, she doesn’t account for costs not on official records.

The true costs of illegal immigration is not in welfare benefits paid out, although that does happen. It comes from driving down wages, crowding housing, living illegally in other aspects than work such as ignoring driving or hunting or housing regulations. It creates additional expenses in education from special classes due to language issues in elementary schools to scholarships and grants because parents wages are not reported or they work in jobs that don’t pay well. Through not having medical insurance both either because their employers don’t provide because perks are not necessary or, once the emergency is done, they go home where treatment is cheap.

The worst thing is the endless chanting of advocates that leads immigrants considering themselves abused by the native communities because they do not yet have the power and resources of long time residents. So many people don’t seem to come here expecting to be part of the community but just to farm it for what its worth. This includes things like Chinese nationals coming here to have babies and buy houses in California to get an education for their children at bargain resident citizens prices. Or people coming here with seriously disabled or aged relatives to have them have them supported. Or to practice frauds in a new and wealthier market (this is a surprisingly large segment.) All damaging reasons for the country who needs citizens willing to support its rather unusual Constitutional government, not fight it.

Some of the above is manageable but not at the levels it is currently. And not with the dissension that seems to be the objective of higher education.

Well well well, would you look at this. Create a crisis, offer a solution rule still holds true.

The shutdown has everybody, with a few exceptional exceptions, yelling, JUST SIGN IT ALREADY!

Mind games.

After digging around, we discover that the DACA bill is trickery.
What is being added to the DACA bill?
National REAL ID.

So, what’s the big deal about REAL ID?
You have some serious studying to do if you are asking why REAL ID is a threat.

It tracks everything about you. If your permanent water restriction is 55 gallons per day, it will not allow you to purchase anything that requires extra water. Aquariums, Apple trees, top soil, luxury soaking tub, hot tub, extra goat for your herd, … etc.
It tracks your lifestyle choices, doctor’s care, prescriptions, diet, travel, exercise… and makes your decisions for you.

But how?
Those commercials that glamorize the cool factor of chip implants, is one clue.
Those weirdo’s that warn about chips in our vaccines, food, drinks, etc, is another clue.

The majority voted no, to drive us impatiently crazy. JUST SIGN IT ALREADY!
But a few liberty minded also voted no.
WTF?
They knew something we didn’t know.

Please, for the love of your fellow man and children, research the problems about the REAL ID.
Then call your congressman and tell them to take it off the bill.

While you’re at it, demand to end the Omnibus bills. One bill, one vote.

It’s your own personal take on what you’ve read that is questionable.
My post above, for instance, warns against a privacy intrusion that will be implemented into a bill that everyone is otherwise looking forward to.
Voting NO is the only way to save both the legals and the illegals if it is hiding within the bill. But people like you who can’t understand such concepts will twist it into an ugly war.
I want to give anybody I want to give to, a bottle of water, a hobo sack, a palette for the night. I do not wish to have to ask permission from the Federal Government first, and I sure as hell don’t want to hear the government tell me NO, because the person lost their ID in a flood or fire and is no longer available to receive any help of any kind until their problem is rectified.

Emily, instead of wasting time insulting people, you could be busy learning new things that might help people. The National REAL ID is one of the worst concepts for both Legal and illegal citizens. It takes away all our privacy and freedoms of choices.

A nice vacation in Mexico would be lovely though. I’d love to live in somewhere like Puerto Vallarta. It’s beautiful there. Why you would consider it in your insult material is beyond me.

Try debating the issue, instead of insulting and attacking the poster sometime, Emily, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll discover we’re all just human beings.
