    Dem Congressman: We’ll shut down gov’t if Dream Act fails

    Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., said he and other liberal House Democrats are prepared to support a government shutdown if House members fail to pass the Dream Act and protect hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants from being deported.
    “We have a Democratic caucus where I know the vast majority of the members of the Democratic caucus are ready to say ‘If there is no pathway forward, not only for the 800,000 and for visas for all of you, but also for the rest of immigrant youth through the Dream Act, then there is no government for anyone,'” Gutierrez said Friday during a press conference with the United We Dream advocacy group.
    “We will shut it down or let the Republicans keep it open with their own votes.”

    How altruistic, placing the needs of illegals over his constituents.

    They're bluffing.

    I mean, they cant be serious, about no government for anybody, .......... right?
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

    The last time they shut down the govt, they said it cos the US tax payers more money to not run the govt than to run the govt. Now that is one scary proposition if true.

    They say the same thing about closing military bases. Too expensive to bother!
