Does everyone remember the Federal Judge's ruling on January 10th that blocked President Trump's attempt end DACA?
A federal judge in California temporarily blocked the Trump administration's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program late Tuesday night.
Widely known as DACA, the program protects young immigrants from deportation. In September, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the program would be phased out.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco granted a request by California and other states to keep DACA going, at least until lawsuits can play out in court.
Source Article: www.npr.org...
When this ruling was announced, virtually NO Democrats applauded it. Tonight I understand why. It took away Democrat's "leverage" in upcoming budget negotiations.
But this week, they proceeded to tie a court-mandated, non-expiring DACA to the budget negotiations anyway...ultimately leading to tonight's government shutdown.
Democrats, let by Chuck Schumer, acted as if DACA was ending, when it really isn't. Not for the foreseeable future anyway. There was no need to tie DACA continuation to this week's budget negotiations.
This tells me that the title of this thread is SPOT ON. Democrats really did want a government shutdown, so they could have SOMETHING to blame Republicans for, ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
I believe that their "strategy" has backfired. Even the usually Democrat-friendly CNN poll tonight, says that most Americans blame Democrats for the government being forced to close... which will now be known as the January 20, 2018 "Schumer Shutdown".

Democrats traditionally have always used the "3rd Reich" style Brownshirt tactics.
Besides that, Many Republicans are in favor of a DACA deal.
Why do you think Trump EO'd the Obama EO ?
Because now it forces Congress to make a law.
But Democrats will lose their political strangle-hold if and when a real law gets passed.
You and others should have figured this out by now.

I didn’t call you a name. I called our government leaders as I see them. The Republican Party has terrorized these people long enough. As my grandpa use to say “ either s##t or get off the pot”.

Of course. I can't imagine why anyone who supports the Trump/GOP position would take offense to that at all...
Please, carry on. Demeaning and dehumanizing your opponents has been a highly successful strategy for the left over the last 8 years. You only lost about a thousand seats in Congress and state legislatures in that time, not to mention a presidential election to a reality tv star.

Democrats do not care about losing something they don’t have. As long as trump is president, let him and repubs do their damage. The American people
will decide.
Til then, democrats will fight for the oppressed.
Leave the lawmaking to the republicans.
