Thread: Live Updates – Schumer Amnesty Shutdown: Washington on Edge as Cliff Approaches

UPDATE 11:59 P.M.
As the government is about to shutdown thanks to Democrats particularly Chuck Schumer, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issues statement on Schumer Shutdown.



"Senate Democrats own the Schumer Shutdown. Tonight, they put politics above our national security, military families, vulnerable children, and our country's ability to serve all Americans. We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators. When Democrats start paying our armed forces and first responders we will reopen negotiations on immigration reform. During this politically manufactured Schumer Shutdown, the President and his Administration will fight for and protect the American people."

Sarah Sanders
