Picture
                                     Zerohedge.com Reports: ​Shortly before 1pm ET, the Senate voted to advance a funding bill in an 81 to 18 vote, that will reopen the government, ending a three-day standoff that left federal agencies shuttered and hundreds of thousands of workers furloughed. Democrats agreed to advance a stopgap spending measure lasting until Feb. 8 after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised to allow an immigration bill to reach the floor next month.
                                      "After several discussions, offers and counteroffers, the Republican leader and I have come to an arrangement. We will vote today to reopen the government to continue negotiating a global agreement," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said ahead of the vote. The three-week funding bill still needs to pass on a final up-or-down vote, but that is a formality now that the Senate has voted to end dilatory debate. Schumer said McConnell has committed that if negotiators fail to reach an immigration deal before the stopgap spending measure expires on Feb. 8 “the Senate will immediately proceed to consideration of legislation” to protect Dreamers.
                            Not looking like the government reopening is quite a good thing, as Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans in order to reopen the Government are giving Democrats a chance at an amnesty vote in February. Basically Senate Democrats only voted to reopen the US government, because they are being allowed as part of the reopen deal to vote for DACA illegals and their amnesty.
                                           Now I know it's good to have our brave men and women in uniform not worrying about their next paycheck again, but basically the government is only back open because illegals are once again being put first. Everyone should of understood that illegals would be put first if the government were to reopen, and it just happened...And you only had to read between the lines to figure out why the government today was actually reopened. The government is only once again open because Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans like Mitch McConnell put illegals before Americans again.
