Fresh off the heels of the compromise that reopened our government for three weeks, Senator Chuck Schumer (D) is doing his best Dickie Durbin impression. Unfortunately for Schumer, it’s close but not good enough. The only ones it’s fooling are his own party members in Congress. In the meantime, he’s hung his constituents, and the rest of the country, out to dry.

During negotiations with President Trump to end the government shutdown, Schumer put funding for the border wall on the table. However, once the government was back to work, Schumer did an about-face. “A staffer who works for Schumer called the White House on Monday and said the proposal, which Schumer put on the table during a Friday meeting with Trump, was no longer operative,” according to CNN.

This action should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind where Schumer’s loyalties lie – and it’s not with the American people. Schumer has an agenda and is more than willing to blame everyone but himself and his party for where the real problem lies. As seen in the video below, the shutdown was all the President’s fault because he “offered” a wall. Any bets on him saying the same thing when he winds up shutting the government down a second time in a mere three weeks from now?

The irony is Schumer doesn’t recognize the hole he has dug for himself and his party. DACA is their Sword of Damacles. It’s the issue they have decided to hang everything on. They held up the first budget, shutting the government down over the weekend, because their demands about DACA weren’t met. Now Schumer has backed out of an agreement with the President (never a good thing). Worse, at least from a Democratic standpoint, the Dreamers are angry with Schumer and company as well. They feel like they were sold out by the party with the original vote.

Protesters in #Brooklyn on Tuesday said @SenSchumer caved to the GOP to end the government shutdown. They decided to take their anger to his doorstep. See more on #NY1atTEN pic.twitter.com/VU1fzIA32m

Poor Chuckie, he’s dancing on the head of a pin and about to fall off.

And, unlike Dickie Durban, he didn’t remember to claim the President used language so foul it would obscure what Schumer did.

Complicating matters more, Dreamers in California blocked the entrance to Disneyland yesterday. Engaging in what mainstream media classified as “civil disobedience”, Dreamers prevented buses of tourists from entering the park. Police responded and the happiest place on earth was anything but for a number of people, not just Dreamers.

What those protesters didn’t consider was how their actions would play out for all those families who’d scrimped and saved for a day at Disneyland. They didn’t consider they were alienating many who had once been on their side.

Yes, DACA is an issue this country has to deal with – thanks to the Obama Administration. The answer isn’t to tie the problem to our country’s budget. There is more at stake than the futures of the Dreamers and other illegal immigrants. This country’s future is at stake and it is clear little Chuckie Schumer doesn’t care. He’s going to do his best Dickie Durbin impression, at least until the Sword of Damacles falls on his head.
