only 18% blame congressional republicans. but despite the shutdown politics, american eye support for daca remains high. two-thirds say they support the program that allows d.r.e.a.m.ers to remain in this country. up 4 points since december. 31% oppose the program, a 12 point increase from last month. and 92 respect abo% of democrat independents support doaca. also chuck schumer said he is taking funding for the wall off the table. i sat down with president trump on friday and offered him quite a bit. he made an offer for a wall. i said if with we do full d.r.e.a.m.ers, we ll give you the deal and he basically agreed. so we were close. then he pulled out and backed off. so now i ve taken the wall off the table because they backed out of he shut the government
resolved, if funding is coming up again, you can look for the candidates looking at national office, the blue state democrats, the national aspirants to say they want to have this fight again. on the other side, here s what you have. the tension here potentially, these are ten democrats up for re-election this year and all of them are in states that donald trump carried. i think here, you will see whether it s manchin in west virginia, mccaskill in missouri, heitkamp in north dakota, you have democrats that maybe are thinking about shutdown politics a little differently. so it raises a possibility of a little bit of tension there if daca doesn t get resolved, if funding is coming due february 8th and democrats have to make this decision again, some of these folks might be saying are we sure we want to go down this road, some of those candidates, potential candidates for president may want to go in an opposite direction. so that s something to keep an eye on. i think something that may

but republicans say that is a nonstarter. they will not make a deal on immigration until the government reopens. president trump in the democrats are far more concerned with illegal immigrants than they are with our great military or dangerous southern border. they could have easily made a deal but decided to play shutdown politics instead. if no deal is reached by monday about 800,000 federal employees will be furloughed in congress returns to work sunday afternoon. i marianne rafferty, now back to the greg gutfeld show. greg: contrary to the alarm no one bought the farm. remember that alert that went out in hawaii? everyone was told the ballistic missile was heading towards them. they were put through 38 minutes of sheer hell and then they were told it was a mistake. that only happened seven days ago. it is forgotten as if decades past.
