welfare was never going to be stopped

You don't get to pick and choose!!! You have to face the wrath of the GOP welfare states - you don't get to screw over everyone else and exempt your voters

They are just trying to look good...they need to open up all programs for Christ's sake...

Why is Congress doing business during a shutdown? Their spending actions mean Government is not shutdown. If they can finance one group they can do them all. It is like the kid playing one parent against the other. Ask mom. She'll give the money. Money still spent.

Let's save the taxpayers money by stopping welfare benefits to illegals. They have no right to my money.

Helps MinnesotaAg.

And helps red states most!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would this include food stamps

Why are they getting paid when the government is shutdown? Mitch needs to give his salary to furloughed workers who won't be getting back pay. Ooh wait that would require having a heart.

Please condemn Iranian regime for torturing the prisoners.

Call your Senator and demand a end to the shut down stop holding the American worker hostage open the government

The Latest: Senate to take up Trump plan to end shutdownWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the partial government shutdown (all times local): 4:50 p.m. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he plans Senate action this coming week on President Donald Trump's plan to end the partial government shutdown. But the plan faces an uphill path in the Senate and virtually no chance of survival in the Democratic-controlled House. The Kentucky Republican calls Trump's proposal a 'fair compromise' for ending the standoff. Trump's plan would protect from deportation hundreds of thousands of young 'Dreamer' immigrants in the U.S. illegally, in exchange for $5.7 billion to build 230 miles of border wall. McConnell says, 'Everyone has made their point — now it's time to make a law.' Top Democrats already oppose Trump's plan. It will be difficult for the measure to get 60 votes needed to survive in the Senate, and it seems certain to die in the House. Temporary solution for Permanent Debt?!....No Thank You....Next! By quickly you mean before he even gave the announcement and offer? Dems are a joke. No wall.

Senate GOP adds disaster aid, spending stopgap to Trump’s immigration offerThe president's plan will test Democrats’ solidarity. He thinks we would take his disaster money at the expense of asylum seekers? He must think we are as morally bankrupt as he is. 👍👍👍 Hopefully obstructionist Democrats will accept this deal so the partial Govt shutdown will end At this rate there won't be Republicans in any branch of the government for the next decade, what a fantastic way to ruin public perception.
