Wasserman Schultz on Trump Shutdown Speech

Washington , January 19, 2019
"A permanent, ineffective monument to waste in return for a temporary reprieve for Dreamers is not a serious offer."

(Washington, DC) – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23)  released the following statement on President Trump’s shutdown speech:

“A permanent, ineffective monument to waste in return for a temporary reprieve for Dreamers is not a serious offer. Trump needs to reopen the government, pay federal workers, and negotiate comprehensive border security and immigration policies. Holding Dreamers, TPS recipients and innocent federal workers hostage over his border wall boondoggle is unacceptable.”
