No Deals
The White House made it clear that no deals are on the table. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders made comments regarding the shutdown and its affect on some agencies.
“We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands,” Sarah Sanders said. “When Democrats start paying our armed forces and first responders, we will reopen negotiations on immigration reform.”
RNC Chairman Michael Steele said “despite the rhetorical effort to paste Democrats with ‘Schumer’s Shutdown’ and to redefine what constitutes majority control of the Senate (’60’? Really?), the fact remains that this shutdown rests at the feet of the GOP and it appears a majority of Americans agree.”
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan also blamed “Senate Democrats shut down this Government, and now Senate Democrats need to open this government back up.”
Americans wait to see how the entire situation will pan out. Hopefully those in control put the people first and move away from their own agendas.
