The can has been kicked down the road again. Republicans have managed to avert the government shutdown with the deadline being today but only for two weeks. A majority of the House has voted to approve a two-week extension of government spending, a modest legislative achievement that will allow Republicans to focus on their top priority: Passing the comprehensive tax reform. House Republicans managed to pass the legislation with 235-193 vote.
It is not clear if the two weeks extension would actually help since President Trump, his Republican Party heads remain at loggerheads with the Democrats, who want to oppose every Trump agenda. A few weeks ago, President Trump tweeted that though he is set to meet the Senate and House minority leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, he doesn’t see a deal taking place. After which, both leaders announced that they would not be joining Trump for a meeting.
One of the main sticking points has been the immigration. The Democrats want Trump to ensure protection for dreamers, who arrived in the United States illegally but as children, which means they hardly had any say on the subject. The DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) is a piece of legislation first introduced to the Congress in 2001 that grants a pathway to citizenship to young people who were brought to the United States as children without documentation. Trump wants Democrats to ensuring funding for his proposed border wall.
If the budget is not passed within the new deadline of 22nd December, the United States would face a government shutdown during Christmas.
