Democrats to push unacceptable bill to lift the shutdown while sticking to their open borders nonsense

NY Times:

Democrats Agree on Plan to End Government Shutdown Without Wall Funding

The spending measures are expected to pass the House, but there is no guarantee the shutdown will soon end given the Senate is still firmly controlled by Republicans.
The Democrats do not have the votes for their open borders policy in the Senate and they don't have the votes in the House to override a veto of their nonsensical border security policies.  Their uncompromising position deserves a rebuke.  They are just flat out wrong about a border fence or wall.  I think their real fear is that it will work.

The only thing that has changed since they voted to support the fence a few years ago is that illegal immigration has gotten worse and they hate the President more than they care about border security.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
